So i bought a set of 4 17 inch, 5 lug rims plus 4 brand new tires for 350$... Turns out they dont fit my car, and now i have to sell them. Any idea how i should go about buying rims next time? Its my first car and no one in my family knows anything about cars, so you guys are my only hope haha.

Bonneville'* have 5x115 lug pattern. If buying new rims make sure they are that lug pattern.

You need to know the bolt pattern. Ask before you buy. 5x115 with a high positive offset, or a FWD wheel.

thanks so much guys, one more thing, i just got new low beam headlight bulbs... They are nearly impossible to put in, any suggestions?

Did you get 9005 type bulbs?

What year is your car? I've never had to much trouble changing the bulbs. There is a write up in tech info under electrical.

no, the size that fits my 1999 sse is a 9006. Ive got one in, but it took my 15 mins and i scratched my hand up bad. The other one is nearly impossible to get to.

Oh, damn I'm an idiot. That'* the bulb I meant. Sorry about that.
