RWD and Rims??
I'm in the market for some rims but I hear us "rear wheel driver's" need rims that are specific to RWD cars. Is there a difference or is my source an idiot?

No, not really. There are only a few measurements you need when considering a rim: bolt pattern, offset, backspacing, width, and diameter. Tirerack.com has a greatwriteup of this stuff. Check it ouy. My Camry wheels bolt right up to my TII and vice-versa...

If you're getting wheels from another car, make sure the hub bore is at least as big as your car. If the hub bore is smaller, they won't mount without machine work. If the hub bore is much larger, you'll need hub rings.
