Sure did. There's a couple in the photos at the top of the thread of the rears.

Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. Did you use the brush on paint or a spray? I used the brush on, with 3 coats of clear engine over that, and after a winter, mine started flaking off. I'm gonna do it right this year and spray the color on. Hopefully yours holds up better.

Never. I don't like that look. I love the stock rims.

Lucky. Well, I'd be careful with any wheel cleaner you may use too. I noticed that some chemicals are pretty harsh on the clearcoats. Looks good btw. Oh, and I agree about the wheels. I think both the SC and TC cobalts have some of the best looking stock wheels around, but everyone on here hates them enough to spend $2K to replace them. I'd rather use that money on performance mods thank you.

Thank you man. You won't find a particle of dust on it, either.

The TC wheels are definitely hot. Haha man I was debating so hard about getting black or white and i finally just went with black because I like the black/red interior and thought it'd look better on the black.
But damn, your car makes me wish I got white

Looks great that is what I am going to do with mine. I already have the paint but I did not know where to get the decals for the calipers. Ebay. FTW
