Am I missing something?

ok, Bugsy wants to buy some winter rims for her 2005 Chevy Cobalt so she calls the dealership..... They say and I quote 'Sorry mam, you have 16 inch 4 bolt rims, they no longer make 16 inch 4 bolt rims, they now only have 15 inch 5 bolt rims, you should have bought the winter rims/tires when you purchased the car'

WTF???? What am I missing?? is there no such thing as 4 bolt 16 inch rims in the industry anymore?

16" 4 bolt rims?

More seriously, Crappy Tire probably has them.

They were on so few Delta cars that you may have to go to a scrap yard to get some. They switched to all 5 bolt wheels later on.

Yup, thats what came standard on the 2005 Cobalt... 16 inch 4 bolt.

We will try CT but the guy said they haven't been made in a couple of years.

You could always call this guy and see if he still has his package. Then you'll just need to buy some winter rubber. You should confirm against OEM specs, but I checked a website and the pattern came up for a 2005 Cobalt.

Thanks Ryan but they were gone.. She just put the winter rubber on the original rims.

That's weird---I thought there was a statute --(not statue) that said parts for cars had to be available for so many years after manufacture? What do you do if you wreck one rim----have to replace all 4 ?
