I've been talking to a wheel manufacture and I just wanted to see who would be interested in some Cobalt SS TC Reproduction Rims? If there is enough interest this is something that we "may" start on and it will take apx 4-5 months to complete as a mold will need to be made and such.

What kind of finish would people be interested in?

Polished Look
Chrome Look
Powder Coated Look

As for price range I am shooting for MUCH cheaper than what GM / CED / Dealers want for the same wheel.

I'm also open to any ideas about this wheel if you have any... please post...

-Karo

 

I would depending on the price of course.

 

can you do a 4x100 option as well? i'm sure there are a lot of lt's and ls's who would love to have a set of repro's

 

powder coated black would look sweet thats what i wanna do to mine

 

me2.

 

just stay varied to cover all platforms of the cobalt and g5's. They want the wheels too!

 

chrome or gunmetal rims in the SSTC style would be my preference. I would consider purchasing if under 400$

 

i'd be interested too....only powdercoated gloss black would be nice....and prolly can't do this but a yellow lip with it would be great

 

i second that 4x100 option, show some love.

 

I would be interested.

 

Definitly be interested..

 

Problem with the same wheel in different bolt patterns ie: 4x100 5x110 or what have you is that unless you can put all those bolt patterns on the SAME wheel you will end up paying for more mold charges sicne they would be different rims.

Under 400 per wheel or under 400 for a set of 18s? If you are saying under 400 for the whole set I don't think that will ever happen because its not a rim that 10000000 will be made to drive the price THAT low.

See here is the big issue which I am having.... to keep costs down, the wheel will have to be the same for everyone... If you pick and choose different colors and what not it will be 100% pointless... I think it would be something to bite the bullet on and hope for the best...

I think maybe the OEM color / look would do best since people would have different options to pick from there. IE: We could work with a local powder coating company to get some nice rates to PC the rims for people if interested OR chrome the rims or high polish it....

But I think trying to keep it simple looking will drive the price even lower vs having 20 different styles out with different colors / patterns.

But as stated above I'm option to ideas and such.


How many different bolt patterns are there for the Cobalt / G5's ? 4x100 & 5x110 or is there more?

-Karo

 

those 2 patterns should be the only ones...most of the cobalts all use the 5 X 110 now i believe

 

no, now all lt's and ls's have the 4x100...xcept for maybe the "sport" editions

 

I wouls like to see a polished version

 

Black would be sick. Those stockers would look so much better painted black than our big a$$ chrome sc wheels. Too much metal to paint black, looks kinda tacky IMO of course.

 

SS/SC were polished aluminum, not chrome. Polished SS/TC wheels would look sweet. It must just be me, but I don't care much for black wheels.

18" 2008 + Cobalt SS Wheel 19207466

SKU: 19207466
RETAIL: $540.00
YOUR PRICE: $405.00

 

holy ****.. $405 for one wheel haha

 

just buy 1 wheel.

 

anyway Karo powder coated black would look awesome or gunmetal.. and if they were like $600-800 id be interested in buying them

 

yeah idk who would pay 400 a wheel... but if its cheaper tell em to do a 4 x 100 i second that... just because were slow doesnt mean we cant cheat the look lol

 

Im interested 600-800 range seems very reasonable just make them exactly like the ss/tc rims now that way people can go there different ways with them.

 

I wonder if the manufacture can do a dual bolt pattern 4x100 and 5x110 on the same wheel to save a lot of money....

I'll make a phone call and see what I can come up with.

can we do 18x8s with 35mm offset? i think diffrent offset and wider will fit the car better
gunmetal of course

im in
