Finally got them on after a little snowstorm yesterday, got a wicked deal, if anyone from ontario is familiar with cheap thrills, i got used pirelli 210 snowsports 215/55/16 with lots of tread left, and a set of 16 inch unknown brand rims, rims were sitting in stock for about a year, buddy redrilled them to 5x110 for a saab guy but never came to get them, so his loss my gain!

$510 CDN CASH!
such a wicked deal, i was looking at crappier tires and black steel rims for almost a grand with tax

Wicked deal!! I got the **** end of the stick. paying around $990 for mine black steelies and BFG winter saloms.

I got the same thing, steelies with BFG Winter slaloms. Bad handling, but vastly improved cruising comfort. I feel like I could ride up on sidewalks and I wouldn't feel it!

these are performance snows, i had big sidewall motomasters on my civic and it felt like i was driving a lincolntown car, nice floating boat feel lol

Mercury

they look like old corvette rims

Cool, another guy running SnowSports. I have 17's on my Cobalt.

the rims kinda look goofy, too small for the body, i was thinking of painting them gunmetal or black? any opinions?

Dude, they're winter wheels...they're gonna oxidize anyway. Those centre caps won't last more than one season before the coating starts to flake off. When that happens, THEN paint them

beerbaron105

haha good point, they might make good drag wheels later, has anyone weighed our tire/stock rim combo? god damn it weights a ton, but all 4 fit in the car on the ride home lol

JoeyCobalt

I swear i read that the rims weigh 25lbs each, i am hoping that was with the tires mounted!

alleycat58

Not a chance, the tires themselves weigh a ton. In fact they may be heavier than the wheels!!!!!! I wish TireRack would include that info when you order tires...the weight. Not that it'd matter, grip is more important than weight, but still it'd be nice to know.

they look good man

Probably the nicest looking "winterized" Cobalt I've seen yet

Those wheels like similar to the old Impala/Monte Carlo rims:

MarcS

I agree, I like it a lot.

beerbaron105

definitely a nicer crowd here then other boards

C4 Callaway rims.

BullDog71ss

Snow...wtf is that?

Good lookin winter setup bro

beerbaron105

my buddy pointed out they bear a resemblence to the mid 90s impala ss

demonspeed

Except the Impala spokes aren't flat - they curve in like a ZR1 rim.

I'm sorry that I said Mallet. I meant Callaway...

JoeyCobalt

Mallet, maybe you were thinking sledgehammer! LOL

ralliartist
