Wheels for the AWD Magnum??
I have been all over......Tire Rack, tires.com, etc, did web searches, and I can't find wheels for the AWD, any wheels.
Does anyone know of someone selling wheels for the AWD?
Thanks.

Yes, I just checked it out. At first glance I got excited, then I noticed that they listed EXACTLY the same wheels for AWD and RWD, same offset and all....I am going to send them a mail and ask what the deal is.

RE: Wheels for the AWD Magnum??
Thanks DarkRT, they did that after I sent them a mail, below is the answer I got, I'm still not convinced that they will fit, he said he did it so I could see what fits in those specs. I requested a verification that they will in fact fit. There are now even more models that supposedly will fit than before (but not the Zinik Z7 I was eyeballing).
I still must wonder why they have so many that will fit, and TireRack has not a single one?
Is hole spacing and offset the only thing to worry about? How about load rating or anything else?
Hi William,
I haven't seen AWD yet, but
all my sources show the same specs with low offset, 25 mm max.
Could you refer me to your sources?
So far I changed (temporary) our settings for AWD to high offset,
so you can see what fits in these specs:

RE: Wheels for the AWD Magnum??
Thanks done,
by the way, where did you read that the originals are 55mm offset? I have been unable to find that number anywhere. The rims I want (Zinik Z7s) are 42mm, but that is a full 13mm (1/2 inch) less offset than the stock 55 you mention. That would make my tires stick out a half inch further on each, correct? I am thinking that would look goofy, but I guess if someone went to 265 wide tires, they would be doing at least that?
I'm unsure of what to do, I don't want to spend that kind of money and have it look like an Opel Kadett with fat 13 inch tires on it, know what I mean?
I'll have to check out some pictures of some of the other guy's rides with wider tires to see if they stick out too far.
EDIT: Wow, I just realized you had an AWD yourself, are those stock tires? I have the 4x4 version of the Contis, don't like them, they are too loud. Your car looks really good in that color. Nice pictures.
