lets see if that works if not then go to wheelfire.com and search for XTATIK Vibe

I like it, but you should lower it at the same time. Also thats not the right tire size, will work but would look kinda goofy.

under $800 for wheels and tires is a pretty good deal. ive never been a fan of those fake rivets or whatever on wheels, but i kinda like them.

There is more costs than what you think it is showing. If you are only getting the rims thats 512$ shipped, If you want lug nuts then its 552, and if you also want to get wheel locks then you're up to almost 600. Buying online is a pita with shipping and all of that, check out your local places first.

make sure you get the right back spacing (+35?), if you do that they'll fit fine, and look good too. Since you specifically have an Alero selected you should be good on the backspacing but I would call customer support and check before you lay the cash down.

yeah i planned on calling them to make sure of everything before ordering, been burned that way once before dropped $1k on a set of wires for an old car of mine and the weren't the right back spacing so i had to get spacers to see if that worked and that did so yeah im not wanting that to happen again
