Factory wheel question

Dave McFly · 10-01-2009, 02:26 PM

guys, as you know i have a 2004 Monte Carlo LS with the 16" alloy rims that were also used on the LS Impala and 2000 and maybe 2001 SS Monte. I have this nasty case of aluminum rot from chipped clear-coat when some guys popped off my center caps on the rims to work on the car before i got it. I would like to get the exact same ones but in case I cannot I need to find out WHAT bolt pattern my car has and what GM front drive wheels shared it. I know that other cars that share the platform will work but i just need to find out what other options I have. my only requirement is that its a 16" rim as my tires are almost brand new and I would hate to have to replace them or get a bigger and more $$$ size tire.

this is what I have:

this is what I can get cheap from a salvage yard:

this is what I would LOVE to get for it:

but i am open to suggestions

the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75 as far as I know, chevy has always been 4.75 for any 5 bolt pattern.

i was told the cavalier did not share it also the NON SS versions of the cobalt (regular cobalts are 4 lug, SS are 5). I found a nice set of 16" wheels off of a wrecked Z24 Cavalier in a salvage yard, transparent black over chrome with red bow tie emblem in the middle they looked very nice.

EDIT, found out bolt pattern for Monte is 5x115 Cavalier is 5x100 bummer.
