I know those are important, but I'm not sure what I need. Do they need to be the exact same or is there play in the size difference?

I think I need 4 lug wheels, so I will have to be careful, because the Prius has both, depending on year.

I may have to look into that for my GF's Cutlass Supreme!
I'd prefer alloy wheels, though for weight reduction. That seems to be my biggest problem. I can find wheels/hubcaps like that, but they are always steelies. I can't seem to find what I want in alloys.

I was thinking that exactly today. The only problem is that I still want to get alloy rims and if I'm going to spend the money on nice rims, I don't want to cover them up. If I can find light weight alloy rims that aren't necessarily nice (looks and aerodynamically), but super cheap, then I might go that route.
