The were not painted before, they were chrome. And to get them back to where they were with no damage to the chrome and have them re-chromed would have cost more money then it would have to buy a whole new set. PLUS I see more and more people buying the same rims as me so I wanted to do something different to set them apart.

I got them back yesterday and I have to say that the pictures I posted do NO justice to how nice these rims look. They look fantastic!! I do not have any new pictures of them and that will have to wait as they are now back in storage until the snow is gone. So EVERYONE is going to have to wait until then for me to get them on the car, even myself!!

 

Much better...Should look amazing!

 

Cool, nothing wrong with going a lil different thats for sure.

 

i think that those are the best looking rims on a cobalt.... i wish i could afford them? bump
