I doubt it would happen, but 250-350 would be fair...

It means would you get that option if you were getting an ss/tc, not interchanging the parts...

These wheels can be put on any of the Cobalts with 5/110 bolt pattern...so you could have these on your SS/SC Cobalt.

I'd Pay 200. If they don't flake, peel, or bubble. I'd Pay 300 for Powder Coated Much better than paint IMO

SS/SC rims > ss/tc rims.

Oh I know, I was just letting him know that the purpose was for an option for the ss/tc.

Those are ******* sick. Alot of aftermarket wheels are like 100 a wheel, so I'd probably say somewhere around 400 for all 4. Anything less would be a steal.

LIES! Well, depends, if you only paint the spokes and front of the ss/sc rims and leave the other parts between the spokes alone...then that looks a TON better. But if you're talking about ALL black...then yeah, these look better all black.

Those are..... ******* ACE!!!

$200 a wheel at most. Otherwise... it just ain't worth it.

A lot of GOOD aftermarket wheels you can get priced around 125-250 a wheel these days.

I want them in HIGH-POLISHED ALUMINUM!!!!!

Just like my 17's on my 2.4 POLISHED ALUMINUM!
Just like the 18's on the 2.0's HIGH-POLISHED ALUMINUM!

They just stand out soooo much more during the day (because they are shining) and much more at night because they again are shining from the lights.
