And how much are those gonna run you? Haha. Are they just custom drilled? Can I call a company direct and have them do that?

eh, I don't like any of Bonspeed's rims.

Hate them all.

I like these:

MOTEGI TRACK - TRAKLITE Flat Black


5Zigen FN01R-C Hot Version - Flat Black & Titanium

well, im having a custom design built for me, so it's 1000 flat fee on top of 700 a wheel, which is the wholesale price cuz the sales guy is ex-army and he's hooking me up since im in iraq. its like 3500 all said and done.

its worth it to me because all the wheels for our car suck.

try j-line wheels, they're like 500 a wheel, and they do custom lug patterns and offsets.

No... if any kind of Skinny 5-Spoke like the ones I posted came in our size... you'd probably see them on my car.

I want rims... but for close to $4k... you'll see a Hahn Turbo kit, if anything.

i love my whine to much to go turbo. haha. but yeah, i'm the same way, any good tasteful 5 spoke wheel and i'm cool. check out the HRE 895R's. perfect IMO, although too expensive.

Those look good but your speedo must be way off with those tires. You should be running a 45 or 50 profile tire.

Yeah, on a 17" wheel on a Cobalt you need to be running either a 45 or a 50 profile tire for sure. I mean stock 2.4SS's come with 17" wheels w/ a 50 profile tire. I mean hell, I run 19" wheels on my car now, and im using a 35 profile tire on them........only one profile smaller than what your using on a 17".

LS's come with smaller diameter tires than the SS's because they have less horsepowers! lol. Smaller diameter tires=better acceleration. It makes them more fun to drive.

How's the ride feel with 18s?? Does your tire scrape on the fender when making hard turns??

Looks nice man!!

I was thinking the same thing ^^ Until I saw these. Probably one of the few that actually have some clean wheels.

Flat black is a bad idea! It will look dirty ALL of the time! lol
