No.

This was the best deal I could find.
Not all 17" work and there is some miss info out there.
Ion redlined are supposed to work but they dont with out spacers.

Cobalt SS na are supposed to without spacers, I gave up on them when the best price I could find on a used set was 300.

 

Finding wheels that clear the Brembos, that I actually like, has been frustrating to say the least.

 

I love my 045 wheels and here thread of what will fit from CSS.net:

That list is missing a few, Drag, Govanni, are two that work.

 

On that list Ion redline wheels do not fit unless U use spacers.
