I for one would love to see a cruze ss, but has anyone noticed that the Cruze LTZ has a bolt pattern of 5x105? We all thought 5x110 was bad.

Strange theory here...do you think GM is trying to somehow FORCE people that are looking for a second set of wheels to have to go to GM to get overpriced factory wheels from their selection? Just a thought. I mean some of them do look cool....but they're retarded expensive.

and GM arent the only ones w/ expensive stock rims... my last car was an 04 fucus... the new ones that jus came out w/ the 17 inch multi spoke rims blew my mind for what the factory price was... i couldnt believe for 4 rims 4x108 17 inch cast aluminum(or w/e) they wanted 2G's(thats w/o tires! lol).... but after market from any catalog would be like 100$ a pop per wheel. American companies diggin deep in our pockets man... hahaha

i think the SS/TC wheels are pretty good. 18X7.5 with like 22lbs ish in weight, its not a bad factory wheels at all compare to the SS/SC with 7 inches width and 24+ pounds in weight.

there's a lot more surface face to the ss/sc wheels, the ss/tc wheels are more "spoke" style design, so less material
