They did not change the bolt pattern .
...and to the people at GM . Can you please price these in line with aftermarket wheels . I would purchase this rim thru GMPP for my 05 because frankly our aftermarket wheel selections are beyond pathetic . But I will in no way shape or form will spend 300-700 bux a rim like most OEM GM rims are priced .

Ok, I'm not gonna read all 9 pages.... stopped at 4.
But here's my take. Those wheels are nice looking, but too dark for a factory GM car. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only car that GM has done with black wheels in recent years (i know the pictured ones are not solid black...but its close enough) was the Corvette GS in 96. Now GM does have a darker wheel option on the Corvette with the Comp Grey wheels. My personal opinion on those is they are very car color dependent. Some colors go well with it, others, not so much. That being said, a SS/TC would look really good with Comp Grey. If GM doesn't do it officially....I just might for my SS.
As for pricing, some of you guys are way off. Take a look at the Corvette price for Comp Grey wheels which are painted/clearcoated. Any special wheels that GM does for the cobalt are likely to be paint/clear as well. Don't look for powdercoat as it is unlikely. The Corvette's wheels are larger, but the price for the option is only $395.00. So you could figure a safe number would be $345.00-375.00 for the Cobalt since they are smaller.
