Bob, did you say your Speedo was slightly off? You're scaring me now. I've never even worn a Speedo.

Your options are going to be limited with 18x7.5. Most wheels in 18 are x8. It's bad enough that our screwed up bolt pattern and offset limit our choices of wheel types. Most reputable shops now carry blanks so they can machine fit the offset and bolt pattern (in-house) to your vehicle.

When you talk to them they will let you know your options. Since I went there in person, I didn't want to wait for blank wheels to come back from the Machine shop (they said it would take two days).

Mine actually have a BMW Bolt Pattern with the proper offset. They drilled the wheels for the HHR bolt pattern (5 X 110). So there is a total of 10 stud holes on my wheels. If you take the cap off and look at my wheels you would think it came from the factory like that.

Make sure you go to a reputable shop. Discounted Wheel Warehouse is where I went and who I recommend since I saw them in person. They do a lot of their business online. If you go with them, ask for Joey, the sales manager...the guy knows his stuff.

Yes. They come in 18's with the right bolt pattern and offset! (19's also.)

Ha ha. No, my SPEEDOMETER is fine, though.
