Hi guys,

Are the plain old black "fleet" steel wheels being sold for the 2013 Malibu? We'd like to purchase 4 of them and we can't figure out what the part number is and/or if there is even such a thing.

thank you,
Steve

 

Just FYI, you're not limited to a 2013 model, or even a Malibu. Any 5x120 bolt pattern wheel with the correct offset will fit. Are you looking for the thin 5 spoke style?

 

Hello and thanks for the info. We're looking for the fleet wheels, same as our other cars have, the black metal ones with small holes all around and they use bolt on center caps for our Parks Department cars.

 

I'm not certain when Chevy switched to 5x120 for their bolt pattern, but I know it was within the last 10 years. That still gives you a broad range of wheels to choose from.

Might also want to check with an aftermarket manufacturer such as US Wheel - if they don't do it, they may be able to turn you on to a resource that will work.

 

i cannot find plain jane steel wheels - I guess they don't make 17" wheels for the 2013 Malibu

On top of everything else, not one Chevy dealer can tell me if they even make them! Isn't there a master parts department who has a computer. I called 5 Chevy dealers. #frustrating

Example of plain wheels....

 

I think I found some to fit the 2013 Malibu which is said to have:

17"
Bolt Pattern: 5x120mm (5 x 4.72inches)
Center Bore: 66.9,
Hardware: 14x1.5 Lug,
Offset: 34-45mm.

Does the Offset have to be exact? What about the bore???

Pepboys also has a "Pacer" which may work.

 

Re. 17 inch steel wheels:
17 inch steel wheels were standard on 2012 Malibu LS (base models).
Try contacting your local Chevy dealer . Hopefully they can get you a set of these.
