I love those wheels. Too bad the stockers on the SS are ugly.

I loved them too... I don't mind the new ones, but nowhere near as nice as those.

Exclamation SS original wheels

Hey the original wheels on the SS Supercharged Cobalt are RH Evolution C5 wheels, type that in google.com and you can find the original wheels for $299.00 each just incase Chevy uses the new stock wheels for the SS.

I also thought that the original wheels on the pre-production Cobalt SS S/C were awesome. The 5 Spoke design is one of my favorites, and they fit the car perfectly IMO.

For some reason though, Chevy decided to switch rims for the production model. When I first saw the new wheels, I thought that they were really bad looking. The RH Evo's had such a clean look, and the satin silver finish matched the rest of the car perfectly.

However, now that it is known that the new wheels will be on the production model, and all the recent pics feature them, I am starting to like them more. I have seen some really nice pics of the brushed-metal finish on them, and the overall design does actually fit the car pretty well.

I would still have preferred the RH Evolution C5's, but I think the current ones will be just as good overall

RH Evolution makes knock-off's or similar copies of the real Racing Hart wheels.
THey are not Racing Hart wheels. If you look up pricing on the real Racing Hart stuff, it is super expensive.

You can find the RH Evo C5's a number of different places for around $1200-1300 with tires but I can't seem to find any place that stocks the 5x110 bolt pattern that we need.

I personally like the ones that have gunmetal spokes and a machined lip, those would look sweet on the Arrival blue. They also have black spokes with the machined lip and all white I believe.
