Default Cruiser Rims, What else fits?

Since winter will be upon us soon, its time to start thinking about tires. I've only had the car a couple three months now, so I am looking to get a set of 15" rims to mount snow tires on. What other cars, aside from the Cruiser, use the same wheels? I am assuming Neon wheels work. Is that correct?

Next logical question is, does anyone (preferably near me) have any for sale? (yea, I know, that should be in the Trading Post)

You might try the Tire Rack's winter "packages," which consist of four steel wheels and a good set of snow tires. Also, you should be able to get a set of Cruiser 15-inch steel wheels from a local salvage yard and match them to snow tires that are on sale. I'm kinda leery about buying used tires, since they may have set for a while and started deteriorating.

Kevin,
Wheels from the neon, and also from the 'cloud' cars will fit. It is a basic 5 X 100 pattern. Not sure about the offset, but believe it's around 40mm.
Good idea changing the wheels...i can speak form experinece when i tell you that the stock goodyears(even the 15") SUCK in the snow. I am getting snow tires this year.
Dave

also the Cavalier and Sunfire have 5x100 bolt but i would make sure they clear your front brakes before you buy them

Thanks for the info guys. I wasn't planning on buying used snow tires, but didn't really want to spend the money for new rims. I'll check tire rack and see how thier package combo compares to buying seperately.
