The guys from RaceLine were by the shop today (they co-sponsor a race team with us) and in the talk of wheels and new stuff they are working on I suggested they consider making a 17 and 18" wheel for the TC Cobalt owners. They said they had one already, and one that they can modifiy to fit (5x112) AND that they have a magnesium wheel coming out (think DC-6) that only weighs 9 pounds, and will fit the SS/TC. Just a heads up for you TC guys looking for wheels.

 

please follow up this post with more information about these magnesium wheels; feel free to PM - I'd be happy to test these out.

found this link/INTERNET site - http://www.racelinewheels.com/p-224-magnesium.aspx

Thanks

lol you do know the bolt pattern is 5 by 110 not 5 by 112

 

Correct, the wheels on the site are 5x112; but the original poster said that the company would make a 5x110 and 18's for the SS/TC owners.

At least that's what I read; the link I posted was only reference for the magnesium wheel.

does that help?

JK

 

if they made thos magnesium ones in 18, and 5x110, i'd be all over them. 9lbs FTW!

 

Would he do it for SS/SC owners. Really want those Magnesium wheels but need 18's not 17's.

 

Please see this poll in autocross/roadracing if you are interested in these wheels...

These would be nice for even my SS/NA. 9LBS FTW!!!!

 

heck yeah, can't beat a lightweight wheel.

Q, does the weight effect ride quality?

 

how much are they? I cant find them on the site.

 

I don't think many people have yet to see whatthe TC is doing to the older SS aftermarket. If they were still supercharged I guarantee we wouldn't be getting these wheels.

Those are sexy.

 

I forwarded this thread to the Raceline guys so they can see what the pulse is.

 

I'm ready to buy these and I think we can get a minimum order - if we know what a minimum order is :-)

saved

 

I talked with a guy from Raceline and he said that the 18"s were still up in the air but that the 17x7.5 should start production around the end of January and retail for $205. 9lbs each for $205 sounds like a no brainer to me. I can't wait to get a set. I really wish I could get ahold of 18s. Anybody know of any other Magnesium wheels on the market that actually look good like these do?

 

i want to buy a set now. damnit.

 

Hell, I've paid as much as $600.00 per rim for Volks and some Prodrive GC06's, I'd pay Raceline to make me a set of 18's for $400.00 each(magnesium) any day........ I'd even pay more if cost more...

 

Yeah I asked him about some one-off 18s and he never gave me a definite answer to if they could do it

 

I just may have to save up for these, look great.

 

I would be interested. I would probably buy them next spring.

 

anything new with these?

 

Still waiting on the 17s @ the end of January I haven't emailed them in a while about the 18s. Maybe someone wants to shoot them one. The more interest the more likely they are to produce them.

 

I know this is a bit old of a thread but it is now after Jan and I can't find these rims on there site. Any updates for us?

 

im wondering about details too i sent an email
