Not classic, per se, but you can definatly check tirerack.com or American Racing's website. They may have some decent 4 lugs for you.

I did a little of the same thing you're about to do and I want to warn you in advance, your choices are limited (unless you put "tuner" rims on it). You may just have to either deal with hubs or pay to upgrade to 5 lug (which when done with a brake kit, pays for itself).


Also, I think I heard someone talking about a "spacer" type thing that you can use to convert from 4 to 5 lug, but I may be wrong. You might wanna try to look into that, although, IMHO, I wouldn't trust a spacer, for anything, farther than I can throw it. And I'm an outfielder who don't need a cut-off guy. LOL! [8D]

in same boat,,didn't like american racing ones,,( just me,,just not quite there in the looks for me) any how e mailed them about the spacer/adapter thing and their response was short and to the point,,,if their rims fail and there's any trace of a spacer/adapter involved THEY WOULD COME AFTER ME,,,they will not warranty/or get involved with NON-SAFE / STOCK STYLE drive trains

Yeah, if the lug pattern is the same, you're good to go. I believe it may be.

BTW, Fox rims don't fit. I tried that too. The fox pattern is about 2-3mm's off the classic size.

i looked and i couldnt seem to find the wheels, from what i remember they looked really good, i was actually thinking about buying a i6 so i looked into this a little bit. and if you like thealum slotted lookyou can get them pretty cheap, i actually had mine given to me by someone who didnt want them anymore. just keep your eyes open and remember, google is you best friend
