Update on my rubbing issue. It was exactly what I thought. When I pulled the wheels to clean behind them and the back side of the wheels I took a close look and found it. The corner of the plastic had deformed enough to just barely click on the tread when the tire was in the right position. A hair drier and large rubber mallet, used as a form on the slightly softened plastic only, solved my problem.

And to clarify my earlier statement on the tire sizing. I stated I was STOCK height, with STOCK springs and had no rubbing issue worth the effort to find it. Anything other than stock I can't comment. I'll check again after running Sebring on the 12th.

Somebody said they heard the PF01 was going to be available in black this summer? Before you start the long wait call Enkei and ask for customer rep King. He'll give you the right information. But I wouldn't want to hang by my thumbs waiting.

These wheels look great in silver! It would be a crime to paint them black IMO!

Tirerack rapes Canadians on shipping fees. Wheelsnext.com has these too and will ship to Canada for free if you buy a wheel and tire combo.

Most Cobalt owners will need to "save up" for more than a month unless their car is paid for! lol

Stock TC wheels are about 20lbs each...
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...t=wheel+weight

PF01's are (18x8s) are probably 18lbs each
http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/PF01.pdf

I want RPF1s because they are usually lighter... I guess not so much in the 18x8 sizes...

Now if they can just make some 17x9s that'll fit...


Quick Reply: ordered me some new wheels ....PF01
