New Source For Wheels!!!
I have just been informed (but have not yet confirmed) that the new Chevy Cobalt rides on 4×110 bolt-circle wheels!

Expect aftermarket wheels in that BP soon!

That would kick ***, except FWD cars have a WAY different offset. I think my 01 protege is somewhere around 40mm where as the 7 is 28mm. Granted this is only 12mm, but it would be a pretty big difference. Just a thought.

are you sure that your 7's offset is only 28? I know on the GSL-SE it is somewhere around 45

Sorry to burst your bubble, but from what i can tell, the standard cobalt wheels are 4x100, and the ss wheels are 5x110.
