Looking for a picture of a black SS/SC with stock wheels painted either all black, or with the spokes only painted black. Trying to decide what I want to do with my car, getting bored with the current look. Planning on painting the wheels and lowering it before summer.

yeah I saw that but thats waaaay too much work for me. I'm not about to dis-mount my tires, use paint stripper, strip them down, and THEN paint them. I'm talking about just scuffing them, masking them off, and painting them..

I don't suppose you have a nice side shot with a bigger version of that picture..

nevermind I'm retarded. I found your photo gallery, thanks.

 

You wouldn't "have" to remove the tires, and if you want them to look good/hold up you're going to have to do a little more work then scuff and spray.

 

what lower springs do you have?

I want to get sportlines but for where I live I might just do the pro-kit because theres alot of dips and potholes and **** around here. Dojn't pm me because my inbox is full until I pay to become a premium member again lol.

 

i've got sportlines. trust me, you'll be ok with them. i never botom out anywhere and i have some shitty roads and harsh winters here too.

 

did you upgrade your struts, or are they still the stockers? I don;t have the money to upgrade the struts, but they should be ok.

 

stock. they have 58k miles on them. almost 20k with sportlines. Still no issues. I'm in the market to pick up some Koni's soon though

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pictures-videos-64/lsj-garage-shoot-154527/ Here are some pics of mine and Mikes the red ss/sc in the pics, i did the Lip on my rims and i painted his wheels for 30 bucks, clean them, sand them and paint them. I have got probably 4 other cobalt owners wanting me to do their rims after seeing how good Mikes are for 30 bucks. But he keeps telling me he doesnt want me doing anymore black rims for people . If you want me to help ya i will! Im damn good at painting......

hey i love the wheels man..... can u give me some more details on exactly how you did them? what kind of paint did you use... gloss or satin etc.? how long did it take you for each step? i'm a noob and need all the help i can get lol would you recommend it for me to do it myself if i have very little experience?


however, i would be very careful if i did paint them.


thanks!
