Rims

I decided I DO want 18's on my base cobalt. I would like to get some that look a lot like those of the SS model. Anyone have suggestions, please post.

Yeah those wheels are nice lookin on the car, hey just so u know, those wheels were 19" in the old pics of the cobalt ss with the RH wheels. Not that this is that big of a deal but I just thought I'd let ya know in case you really wanted to get that look that you see in the pic.

^^^^Those are not "Racing Hart" wheels.

They are "RH Evolution" and they can be found all over the net for $1200-$1500usd with tires.
Now finding them in the correct bolt pattern is the problem.

18" wheels on a base cobalt would be ulgy because the base has drum brakes not disc

you can see which rims will look best for your car...here....click on the top where it says "wheels"... put in the make/model information towards the right of the screen, and there you go. they have a rims template that swaps rims for you.. they actually just recently got the pic uploaded for the coupes.. you can also change the color of your car too
