Wheels in Production?

This has probably been posted since these are nice wheels, but when searching I came across way to many to look through. I saw this pic in the 2007 Cobalt thread and figured I would ask.

Are these wheels in production to buy, or did GM make these just for this car? If not, does anyone know of anything that is similar in our bolt pattern? These look very much like the wheels on my buddies RX-8 and I loved his.

I think these are the optional ones from GM your talking about.


I haven't seen the ones I'm talking about on any car yet, but I have seen the ones above on a couple.

I was just going to buy the rotors Uneek is selling here:
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/deleted-threads-89/oem-size-performance-cross-drilled-slotted-rotors-17882/

Then I was planning on getting these wheels after I find out where to get them, and of course do some photoshop work to see they would look.

Just judging by the color, that looks like the show car they had for the small car bash last year. The bluish sedan. I doubt they're production wheels.

Here's the pic:



Not a production vehicle, so I doubt we'll see those wheels. The car was shown at the Bash last year, so there's been plenty of time for the wheels to come out. Doubt we'll ever see them .

No, they have 4 lugs on the site too. I did a search through my car on tirerack.com

So they will be mine soon!
