Thanks.These gas prices are raping me.I almost have to take out a loan just to put gas in the formula.The previous owner said she averaged 23mpg in the alero.Is that about right? Better than the 10mpg i get in the bird.  |

those wheels will need to be a 2005 or 2006 wheel to make sure the offset is correct. the other years won't fit.
