where the wheel is right now, measure out where you want it to be. buy spacers of that length..

Dang, the thread got mildly hostile while I was gone. lol People run OEM wheels because they are cheap and easy to get without compromising on quality. Who the heck wants to drop more than 1K on wheels for a damn economy car? haha

Who cares what OTHER PEOPLE run on THEIR cars. Last time I checked, Your name isn't on their ownership. We are all here for the SAME reason, because we enjoy these cars. Let's stop playing the popularity game, It's getting really old. Mods need to step up their game a little bit I think. If i'm wrong in anyway, I'll gladly shove my foot in my mouth.

its called a forum. in real life a forum is a place to talk, discuss, and share things. this is an online forum. we are talking and discussing.

So much dislike for the stock wheels, whats up with that? Not only is it just easier to keep the stock wheels and 1000 dollars cheaper, but really the stock wheels look great, both versions.

Granted, all the aftermarket rims ive seen on cobalts before about a year or two ago are very poorly picked, the late and great suspension craze has inspired beautifully, meticulously chosen rims.

I like the stock rims. I'm not a chrome guy which is why I'm looking to paint them. Also like I said I'm cheap. Got a friend who can powder coat for me might see how yuck he could do it for me

*quick

if you have easy access to coating, do that.

i'm trading a guy some tires for some power coating. it'll look much better than i could ever get it too with paint.
