Hello. I just got a used 05 RX GT. It's got stock rims on it (18x8, 225/45). I want to go buy some black rims with machined lip and silver lugnuts around it (you know what they look like, typical black / silver rims). No wheel stores around me have anything that'd fit. I want to keep the tires. My only problem is that I'm having trouble knowing if bolt patter, depth, width, etc. will fit on my tires if i buy online. Has anyone bought rims along the lines of the above, and is able to ensure they will fit? I'd appreciate a link to where I can get them. I'm not buying used, so a link to the site for new ones would be awesome. I'm hoping under $150 per? Thanks, and sorry if it's a total noob question.

I didn't buy the same size rims or the type you're looking for but I did buy some for winter tires a little over a year ago. The place i used was tirerack.com. They have the ability to put your car make model and year in and it turns up all sorts of rims and tires that will fit your car. Check them out. they may have what you're looking for.

Tirerack.com is amazing! that is the only place I go for all my tires.. I have bought about 10 sets of tires from them and 3 sets of rims so far

I have never seen a deal on tire rack that could not be beaten locally. They are not all that.

Thanks for Tire Rack suggestion. These:

should fit, right? It's a fine price. I'm going to look for those locally first though, as 9krpm said. Thanks for input guys.

Yeah, those will fit

you can always check the wheel/tire section, there is a lot of good information on what will or will not fit on the cars...

and just fyi, bolt pattern - 5 x 114.3, thread pitch - 12x1.50mm
