2003 Touring Rim
I feel really dumb for asking this... ive been looking at this website for some time now and recently i had a problem with my car.
I was planning for a trip down to orlando and one day i was driving my car and it didnt feel right so i pulled over and the driver side front tire was low. i went and put some air in it and didnt think about it again until i left for the trip. when i was getting all packed up into my truck i looked and the tire was getting low again, i got some air and filled it up again.
well when i got back from orlando, i came home to a tire that deflated. it had sat for over a week like taht im guessing and the rim bent. i have stock touring rims, and no money to get brand new rims. i can get one, but not all of them. so i went on the internet to look for it.
the touring is 18" wheel and i measured it and it came out to be 18 so i know its right... the only problem is that my rim looks like this :
http://www.midwestwheelandtire.com/product/1645
and they only come in 17"? what am i missing here? am i not measuring right? never had to deal with rims before to be honest so i may sound really dumb right now. just wanted to know if maybe my rim was really a 17" and i thought it was 18 (like all 03' touring OEM rims are...?) or am i just not able to find the rim on the internet?

You have 17's. So what does your sidewall on your tires say ? They should be 225/50-17. The 17 part in the tire size is the size of your wheel. The touring 6mt guys got 18's and the chicks that got the auto trans have 17's.

You got an 03 at with 25k miles for 7 grand? And it's not salvaged? Either you somehow ripped someone off royally or...... Something is fishy. How the hell did you land that deal?
