P.S if i have any of you on BBM. itll be gone soon. I ordered a samsung galaxy s2 4g from telus, can not wait to get that phone its sooooooooo sexy...gets me soo hard.
Torque app, no need for a aeroforce scan gauge now ether, so if anyone wants to buy one let me know. i just bought it off dustin for 170.
I've seen this dude around...i think those are his winter tires if i am not mistaken. Hes a ******* losser.
There are a lot of SS cobalts in this city that drive like douche bags that need their teeth knocked out.
FYI...if i don't know you...revving at me and driving like a ass through traiffc and giving me thumbs up is not a good way to be friend me....I've seen several shitty modded SS/SC's do this to me.

I have endless problems with lightly modded Ss sc wanting to run (winter tires on now lol) because I have sc rims as my winters they just assume Im a base lsj. Wrong....
Also that silver Balt I'm pretty posative belonged to a guy on here who worked at Vickar I think it was SPARHAWK.
Basically it was that silver balt that guy is selling and my black one that Vickars got in 2008 and I bought mine (don't love silver) and that one was sold like two days later (I didn't like the idea of light gray seats either never keep em clean)
Suprisingly thats all Vickar got before the 09 started rolling in.

Hey all i'm new to the forum, I just bought a 2009 ss/tc and want to get some winter tires for the car, I was told by the guy whom I bought it from that not many wheels will clear the brakes. I found a good deal online for a set of 18" sssc rims.
Will they fit?
Will they fit?
Welcome! Yup they will fit you just need to run spacers to clear the brembos
there's another guy here (in Winnipeg) who just went through this, and figured his SS/SC wheels wouldn't work...I think there might be a couple differences between different SC wheels that I haven't observed.
you can spend more money and find them locally at a speed shop, or some wheel/tire shops, or you can find them for pennies on the dollar on eBay.
proof that it can be done (I used 3mm spacers - but it's REALLY close on the outer edge of the caliper's machined edge);
then again, I ave also heard that the SS/SC wheels that have a slightly different outer edge do not require any spacer... I have seen these wheels once (I think they're more common to the Malibu SS) - but have not test fitted them personally.

How much you selling the aeroforce for?? And I'm also looking for a stock tc boost gauge if anyone has
welcome to the forum! I have some info for you on rims as I had a hell of a time finding them myself back when no info existed haha.
Ss sc rims seam to have different offsets from year to year. Some people get away with a 3mm spacer but I was not so lucky, I have to run 5mm spacer and even at that it's damn tight (look at pics in my gallery)
I would reccomend finding ss na17" rims or ion redline 17" rims as you will save money on tires (they get about 2-400 cheaper when you go from a 225-40-18 to a 205-45-17. And both rims have been known to clear brembos without spacers. For some reason later model ssna rims dont always clear without spacers (the offset seems to change when it turned into the cobalt "sport"
Also it's believed that not all ss sc rims have the same clearance because some of them were actually from the Impala/montecarlo ss when they stopped producing the cobalt sssc they ran out of rims near the end and stole some from other lines.
Just some info from my experience. Hope it helps.
Saturn Redline comp rims wheels - Winnipeg Tires, Rims For Sale - Kijiji Winnipeg Canada. here's a link to some. Just search kijiji theirs some ss sc rims on there as well.

Probs 170 considering thats just what i paid for it a few weeks ago from dustin lol.
Id let the dual pod aeroforce and tc stock Boost gauge for for 200 + your stock pillar?
I think thats fair, maybe if it isnt let me know lol.
they dont all have ss in them thats an $optional$ extra haha.
Just solder a port on and wire it so it lights up. it doenst need to be functional. thats what most ricers usally do haha.
