time attack wheels

where can i find wheels like these? they are 17x9.5 with a 38mm offset i think...
would i have to modify anything so they don't rub? ENKEI have wheels similar but they are different bolt pattern...
ive searched and cant find them anywhere

Enkei RPF1s? Those wheels are legendary. I have a few EVO buddies out here that are rockin those. No bolt pattern for a Cobalt, but like any wheel, custom drilling is always an option?

They are Enkei RPF1s and Im looking into getting them in 18x8 with the Special Brilliant Coating. Custom drilling is the only way to go.

doubtful. Enkei probally custom made and gave those wheels to Chevy to help promote themselves in the Redline Time Attack series.

The 9.5s will fit fine but they do not make these wheels in our lug pattern

i know they make staggered wheels for the skyRL an Soltice GXP and those cars have out lug patter.. yet i dunno if the offset is to much. i would like my wheels to poke a litle though if i was going staggered. i dont think they have these wheels though

im debating wether to go 17 or 18 inch...

i do know that the wide body cobalt uses a 265/35 series tire which goes on a 9.5" wide wheel... so maybe they do fit

Pretty much all of the road course "professional" Cobalts still use these wheels. I'm sure the company may show interest if enough public Cobalt owners go to them w/ deposits for a custom drilled option. Just have to get enough people to agree on size, offset, width and color...

It is my understanding that the hubs were changed rather than custom drilling the wheels.

Someone already tried this and they absolutely refused to make them in a 5x110 lug pattern, and yes the cobalts that run these wheels are using grand am hubs

Actually, if you ask a company racing with these, chances are, they might sell you a set. I got an offer, didn't have the cash so I had to pass. If I find the person who offered it again, I'll jump on it this time.

the cobalt time attack and scca cars use hubs from a grand prix which has a 5x114.3 lug pattern so unless u custom drill them u won't find them in 5x110....use the search there is an old thread on here about the conversion and how some members tried to get enkei to release a 5x110 if enough people bought them but enkei wouldn't do it......
