I ended up getting the best package they had with toyo's and rims so it cost me 1458 tax included but they have a package for 970 and the one Jase got for 1100. Anyways.. my tires are wicked... I can actually get traction... haha I squealed off the light yesterday when I wasn't meaning to at all.. I got the weirdest looks it was funny!

I would like to take this time to thank the cobalt owner that went in to contemporary motorsports just before i did today (at 1130 am friday)

You saved me $100! I got quoted $1048 before tax and with you going in, i was given the same quote as you at $1002 including tax!

thanks whoever you are!

Looks like a tight fit!?

Hey guys, I'm new here just bought a 2007 SS/SC Red! and i love it, only problem is that we got smashed with some snow! the Perelli tire's on it are not at all designed for winter conditions which i'm well aware of, and it seems that everyone here went with a 16" steelie, the only problem I have is that it doesnt seem to be much clearence with the caliper on the front, is it possible that the 07 may have a larger disc in the front then the 06? Anyways I would appreciate a response.

Thanks

mine looked like 3/4 to 1 inch of clearance.
I dont think it will be to much of an issue.

I have an 06

Steelies you shouldnt pay more than $100 a piece for.

haha I tried 3 canadian tires and they wouldn't sell me steelies because (I quote) "We cannot sell you steel rims because according to our system, the applications for your vehicle is different." Which was followed by me "yes I realise this, I can give you all of the dimensions of the steel wheel and the tires that I need" I also tried lying and saying that I ahd tires and I bent a rim and needed a new rim to fit my tire but that didn't work either.. I dunno they are dumb.. I think it's cause I'm a woman!
