Awesome Idea! Did you brush off the rust, or just paint right over it?

yea, well i used the brake cleaner and scrubbed at the rust a little just to get the loose layers off. then i just used the rust as a gidline for what to paint. the roughless of the rust also helped the paint stick a little bit.

hmmm they may have custom drilled them then. I got these ones because i ordered some other ones that looked just like them and then they called me up and said hey, we dont have those ones, it was a mix up, but we have these: and they were the Kyowa 210's. Looked virtually the same as the ones i wanted so they sent those instead.

They come in gunmetal also, 17x7 and 18x7.5 give them a call im sure they can work something out.

Honestly its very difficult to do. Some fabrication shops can fill in old holes and drill new ones but a lot of places wont touch on this. honestly i'm not really sure how shops go about doing this. Best bet would be to call around... Enkei doesnt really make any aftermarket for our bolt pattern however they make the stock wheels for the Pontiac g5gt (same bolt pattern as cobalts) so i dont really know what's up with that.

those are the GM Performance Parts rotors. you can get them through your stealership, or you can get them online at a pretty good price from gmpartsdirect.com or crateenginedepot.com

yea you could paint them before you stick them on the car, but its hard to tell where exactly it's gonna rust.
