My SC/SS has new wheels!

Need to get SS badges for the front and a new hood. Other than that the outside part of the car will pretty much be done.

Thanks. Sorry I had the exact same picture up twice. I shoulda taken one with a much different angle. These are the only three pics I have right now just took them. Spent all day detailing the car yesterday with another Cobalt owner. These are Konig Afterbuners for anyone that wants to know

actually yes. I didn't mention that but when the wheels went on a couple of days ago I thought about lowering it a inch maybe a inch and a half. The tires I have up front read "competition only" LOL super soft tires. I dont drive the car very much each day. couple miles in each direction



these went up front. not near as soft tires went to the rear but they're definitely good tires

To be honest I dont even remember. I searched Yahoo by Konig Afterburner wheels and bought them off the 1st website I found that had them. there may be several websites but it seems like there wasn't when I think back to when I ordered them

thanks for all the nice complements

The inner part of the lip is a yellowish color as the rest of the lip stays pretty much as you see in the picture. I have lots of people pointing and turning their heads at red lights. Ive had 2 or 3 people walk up to me in parking lots and say "love the wheels" I just hope they dont get stolen

no lock unfortunately though I may buy one. Seems like I paid between 800-900 dollars for all 4 with out tires. I really dont remember. Not to brag but money really wasnt a factor buying these wheels

Hah well alright then... Well if money isn't a factor just go online and buy some wheel locks for the rims. It can't hurt, plus you don't have to worry about coming back to a car on cinder blocks.

being lazy and not having the money are too different things. Do a search on my posts. Ive been debating on which parts to buy for this car since the 1st week Ive owned it (2 years) Ive been very lazy and procrastinating from day one. I really hope the new look gives me the spark to get this thing going as I had lots of plans for it in the past

new hood, stage II, a small drop, and a 7 inch screen for the dash will be about it. I have a Ingen cold air system sitting in my laundry room. Ive had it for over a month. I think Ive been holding back on this car because I got outta control with the last two projects

anyone a fan of bagging a car as far as suspension? thats what Im thinking about doing if I drop it
