there are actually a whacking stash of wheels that will fit your car, but you have to find them. there are a billion more that wont lol, well they will with spacers (illegal but common) because they are fwd offset which is most cars these days.
try going to the tyre shops and grabbing a the wheel catalogues as well as picking up a hot fours/fast fours mag. then check out all the manufacturers websites etc. also multifits are more likely to fit obviously because they have both 4x100 and 4x114.3 pcds.
ok well how about you decide what you want,
so start off with what width tyres you want to run.
then what width rim will fit those tyres. try have the tyre
width midway of what the rim can accept.
then what backspace that rim needs to have to clear your struts/suspension.
then does it clear the guards. the big question, this is where the rim can be too wide and stick out.
then what size rim you want and check there are the the correct profile tyres to match to 10% of your original wheel diameter.
and check the track and plus fitaments are legal.
now to complicate things you can have mismatched wheels and have to do the process twice, ie usually wider rear rims and smaller front rims, but a lot of people run the same width rims but slightly smaller tyres on front and slightly wider tyres on rear to have the same effect with the a matched set of rims.
usually rears can be a lot wider tyres or rims because they
dont have to turn and clear suspension etc.
