because no one makes rims for 5x110 (well people do, but not many)

4x100 has it sooooo easy...i envy 4x100

btw i cant imaging those rims looking good on a cobalt...sorry.

16x6.5?

the other ones are 17x7 which is why i like them alot. same basic design of the wheel but bigger. if i could get the second ones in 17x7 i would get them but there not made like that.

i still think they would look sick black with my yellow calipers sticking out. and i just love the offset of only 3 spokes.
