I was going to surprise you at the car museum, but, I guess I'll spill. I got Foose Nitrous wheels with Nitto Invo rubber.

Bunkie: Good choice. Foose being a good friend of mine. Nitto good choice on tires. I'm gonna use [when it's time to change] Nitto 555's. C-ya "Moon"

Wheels Boutique turned up zilch that I liked... also Moon, the thought of powdercoating a set in gold has crossed my mind as well.

Haha, I'm by no means the first. Don't know if they are sporting gray carbon fiber over lays, dark charcoal gray painted Chevy emblems and SSR Type C RS rims. But at a distance the dark charcoal gray color and black look similar.

I figure I'll do the black overlays to go w/ the Fall Edition h/l. I was thinking red overlays but I think IMO it wouldn't look 'right'. Either way, still searching around for a set of 19" gold rims!

I vote gold overlays in the same color as your chevy emblems

Hmm I'll keep that in mind. Does anyone know what the weight of the stock SS rims are? Also if anyone can give me the offset of the stock rims, I'd appreciate that too! I'm looking at some 19"x 8.5" rims so I want to make sure there's no clearance or rubbing issues!

I thought the cobalt ss/tc was 42mm and ours was 40mm, oh well 2mm is close enough.
