Hey, just recently got my ride, looked around and I am trying to plan for next winter, so basically I am trying to come up with the cheapest option for rims that will work with the tpms, so besides trying to get aftermarket, which then cost a lot to add the senors, which range of vehicles rims are compatible, so I could pick up someones stock rims and save $, also outside ideas work too.

The sensors are transferable from wheel to wheel. Its just a small box on the stem, which gets put on new wheels anyway.
The bolt pattern is 5x110, its decently common now, Cobalts and a few other cars carry them. 20's are the way to go with the Malibu though, they really make the car. Anything smaller just is not worth it. They'll look good, but they wont change the look of the car as much.

Compatible cars: Chevy Cobalt SS & HHR, Pontiac G6, Solstice, & 5-lug G5's, Saturn Aura, Sky, & 5-lug Ions, Late model Saab 9-3 & 9-5, and Cadillac Catera.
Did I miss any? :confused:

L series Saturn (midsize sedan before the Aura)
Also, on the Solstice / Sky rims, the offset is 55, so they look a little quirky on the Malibu.
