looks pretty nice. These gunmetal lug nuts might make it look even better. I have to warn you, they are a bit pricey, but they are VERY nice

If you do go with those, ours are 12x1.5. They don't have them listed under the cobalts, but you can just checkout under any vehicle and tell them you need the 12x1.5 not 1.25

Duplicolor gloss black, dupli-color black sandable primer, and dupli-color Clear Coat. I'm gonna put together a how-to and will have all the info together by the end of the week.

Otherwise if you have any other questions, feel free to pm me or contact me on myspace :

Nice job...check out mine...link is in my sig...

Might I suggest getting some covers for your lug nuts...I got mine at colorlugs.com. THey were cheap as hell, they hold VERY securely, you'll never loose one. Just make sure you get the little tool. You can get a whole car kit (extractor included) for like 13 bucks and an extra 4 for like another $2. I don't have a picture of them yet on that thread, I need to put it up.
