1st Post Need a steel wheel but confused

I have a 2000 ex 4dr and while searching ebay for a steel wheel it shows 14x5 CMC and 14x5 toby. Can you please tell me which is the correct one?

Thank you

My catalog shows TOPY was for US and Canada built cars,
KANAI was for a Japan built car with A/T.

I don't show a CMC choice for a steel wheel in my catalog.


If your VIN begins with a number 2, it's built in Canada.
If your VIN begins with a number 1, 4, or 5 it's US built.
If your VIN begins with letter "J" it's Japan built.

CMC is also listed in the link provide. The first letter of the VIN is J

Thanks again

I can only tell you what I see in a dealer parts catalog. It didn't describe CMC in any of the choices.

I can't comment on other sources/links.

Look on your wheels, is there a stamp that has those letters? Would probably be very similar in size to the stamping that shows the 14x5J wheel size.

The first letter of the VIN is J
That's a Japan built car.

My catalog gives 42700-SR3-964 as the original part number, if that helps.

Could be the manufacturer of the wheel, you get 2 choices when ordering lug nuts and 2 different names and prices.
