i don't see any issues but i have an untrained eye. do i need to be concerned with offset and fun stufF? otherwise, seems like a good deal to replace my OE's when needed. thanks-jon

I would be concerned with "offset and fun stuff?"
No point buying them only to find they aren't the correct fit.

brazdonW- i appreciate the offer, but am no fan of the OE tires, was trying to get something a bit better for cheap... ideally i'd go the route you did with the konig heliums (nice rims... nice car!) and swap tires over to them eventually. i've just been keeping an eye out for deals on 15" wheels or tires is all... (i could've gotten the linked set for $200... and sold the steelies for $100 come fall time...)

I believe the cobolt has wider wheels then we do, (by .5 in?), there is also offset to consider. your best bet might be to ask if you can test fit them. Assuming you have a floor jack and such put on the front ones and check for clearance with the wheels turned different ways, take it around the block and see if there is any rubbing.
