the bolt pattern on these were 5*100, so no, these will not fit cobalts...yeah they're pob. heavy but whatev, im not looking for any drastic weight saving...they just looked good to me so i bought them

from my research the 18x8's weigh 20.5 lbs and do fit the SS SC. I believe you can buy them from streetdreams....check the big long rim thread, they're in there.

Finally got them on my car. Tires are 215-45-17 Kumho Ecsta Asx's. They went on perfect, had no issues. Ride doesnt feel any different, just more grip Car in the background is my moms 2.4 HHR Fall edition...so i got a little piece of Cobalt...

I wanted those in 18" for my SS, but after checking both Enkei's personal website and using the wheelfilter on wheelsnext, I came up with no 5x110 pattern. I've heard of Cobalt SS guys getting these wheels somehow, but they must be copcat/fake versions, as Enkei's own website states there is no 5x110 bolt pattern. Looks good though man, i'll have pics up my 18x7.5 Enkei WDMs up as soon as they come in.
