any other cars, use 15" wheels, w/ same bolt pattern for 8th gen corolla?

[dizwiz24]

Im looking for cheap alloy wheels, in 15", for my 8th gen corolla.

Do any other cars out there have the same 4 bolt pattern and offset, as our cars, except in 15" alloy wheels?

I dont want the expense of aftermarket wheels.

I'd like to bring this post back to life. I too would like to find an inexpensive quality OE wheel that fits the 8th gen Corolla. There are much better tire options on 15's compared to the OE 14" steelies.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

from that you will be able to know the specs of your current rim and with that you can do a local craigslist or whatever type of search to see people selling their rims.

Mazda Miata wheels are pretty popular OEM wheel to get in a 4x100 bolt circle and stay within the OEM wheel offset range of 38mm-45mm.

15"x6", 45mm offset, 4x100, most are quite lightweight. Though if you can find them "cheaper" than aftermarket wheels - that might not be the case. OEM wheels tend to command a premium price - not unusual to find clean, blemish free OEM used wheels that are hundreds of dollars each!

Others are older VW, Audi and BMW on the Euro side. Older Honda, Acura, some Nissans also fit within the spec'd offset range - all in a 4x100 bolt circle. Some of those, like the VW and BMW classic BBS mesh wheels will not by very cheap - good used sets are selling for as much as $300 each wheel.

A short list of OEM makes that use a 4x100 bolt circle and 38mm-45mm offset (though not a comprehensive of possible donors):

- 1990's BMW E12, E21, E30 (not including M3)
- 1990's Acura Integra
- 1980's Honda Accord
- 1980's Honda Civic
- 1980's Honda Prelude
- 1980's Honda DelSol
- 1990's Dodge Neon
- 1990's Ford Escort
- 1990's Mazda Miata
- 1990's Mazda MX3
- 1990's Mazda Protege
- 1990's Nissan Sentra
- most Saturns
- other Toyota

NOTE: This does not include the centerbore - which varys from make to make. Centerbore that is too small (less than the 54.1mm) will not fit the Corolla.

Also depends on what you mean by inexpensive. Aftermarket cast aluminum wheels are fairly inexpensive in the bolt pattern and wheel size you are looking for. Some run less than $80 to $100 to start, each wheel. Every once and while you'll run across a promo or end of life sale for a particular model, and can get a killer deal. Just depends on how quickly you need new wheels and what style you are after.

Thank you for providing comprehensive information. I appreciate the details given. Personally I would love to buy new wheels from tirerack, but for my 12 year old daily warrior I would like to find a good quality OE set of wheels that will allow better tire options and not stress about damaging $200 - $300 rims on a daily driver. Also, I personally don't like some of the castings that I see coming from China on some aftermarket wheels. I figure an OE quality wheel will fit the budget to avoid having to stress over very nice wheels on a daily commute. Again, thank you for the information. I will look into these options and see what I can come up with.
