Thank you, Dan! I am on Tenzo-R lowering springs for now but will be on Stance GR+ coilovers by the end of the year. I look forward to seeing your car in here soon.

Very nice setups. I'm interested to see more setups from my fellow 4x100 members. Keem them coming!!

Ha, I actually check Hondamarketplace and VW vortex for rims. Most of the nice 4x100 rims are 15 and 16 inches, and on a cobalt they are too small. I have found a few decent 17in though which is what Ill probably settle at. I really would like an 8in wide rim to but thats even harder to find.

Then find out how much for a set of 17x8 4x100 with a nice low offset powdercoated would run. Im sure there could be a GP possibility for a group discount.
Says they do custom right on their site.

the RT615k's are brand new and are supposed to heat up better and wear slower.. i liked my rt 615's but when they're cool they dont grip for **** ..

however i picked up some direzza z1 star specs anyways so the point is moot i'll be getting them mounted today i hope

You will need coilovers, the right size wheel. On our cobalts probably a 17 or 18x9 with a 35 or close offset. Make sure you have the car lowered as much as possible, and a 205/40 tire on the 9 inch wide rim. You will probably need to roll the fenders so you have to get a fender roller or a metal pipe. I think that should be close enough. Not many people push the limit with wheel size on cobalts so Im not sure what it is.
