Nice wheels. Would look sick on a Black or Sport Red SS/TC. Agree on the powdercoating too. $250/wheel for painted, $350/wheel powdercoated... And maybe I'm being too picky, but let's get the metal valve stem in black also...

How much do you think it would cost somebody to make them polished?
I wish they would come polished from the factory (like they used to).

Awsome i would pay 400 for them if they came as an option and they need to do it quick PLEASE

they really need to be powder coated. My wheels on 2005 SS/SC suck big time got them repainted once a year ago and it needs done again

Would totally put those wheels on my 07 SS/SC! Make them GM, please I think a fair price is $300 - $400, I would expect powder coat though, not some cheap paint.

i would get those if i had a SS model. would they plan on doing something like this for the other cobalt models. i really would consider them if they come with the 4 bolt pattern.

yes

I was at the official ohio springmeet april 19th 2008 today.......... and they had a yellow ss/tc there with these rims. It looked great. seats are waaaaaaaaaaay comfortable.......anyways. they also had an engineer hosting a powerpoint or projector show about the cobalt. He asked if we would be willing to pay 200-300 for that option.... a couple peeps said yes and then someone said NO make it standard!! and got a few heck yeahs .......anyways.....i'd pay 200-300 as an option for them.

I'd pay extra for them, but I don't understand why they would have to charge extra. It's the same wheel! But if they did I would pay lol

I would pay up to 200 for painted cause it will not last over time.........
I would much rather pay 350-400 for powdercoating that will last much much longer though.......
That is what I planned to do with my SS wheels so I have total black on black on black look..........but now I may wait for these rims , cause I know someone is going to total their SS T/C when they first get it and I'll be there to get the rims at the junkyard

for sure! but powder caoting is not $300+, i got all four of mine done for $150 total... if they are gonna charge $300+ i would get them done my self. i would say $250 tops for this option would be an excellent price!

yeah for just paint 200bucks is about as high as you can go, maybe 250. I'd also prefer powdercoated rims. These would look awesome on my black lowered car w/ red calipers.

I guess there not allowed to much contact with the outside car world but this is what I heard back from Ron.

"Thanks again for the support and feedback. The poll was a great add. Keep us in the loop on any final numbers..."

At the Midwest meet it sounded like these were gonna be a go within the year so I guess only time will tell.
