lol i really like my rims and wouldnt trade them for anything (other then the same ones in 19s) but yours made me think twice about it. if i didnt loose anything in the deal and didnt curb them ever... damn that would be tempting but neither of those would ever happen

 

Haha, your rims look great man, I like them a lot as well!

The day I curb these will be a sad day...wow

 

im assuming you use a taller tire too though. taller effective gear ratio = negative impact on acceleration.

 

thanks man.... ya the machined part of the lip is so small its gonna suck big time

Those look pretty good. I know it would be hard for you to tell on your car but does there look like these have allot of space between the wheel and the calipers?

never mind they are 4 lug. DUH!

 

Those wheels look hot and i wanted them for my car, stupid 5 lug :-(

 

does anyone know if 5x114 wheels will fit 09 SS/TCs?? I wanna get these with red accents but they only have the 114 size bolt pattern. At 500 bucks a rim id like for them to fit before i get them

 

i doubt it see if u can get em custom drilled

 

Wheel: Axis Super Hiro 5x114.3
Tire: Nitto Invo Front: 245/35/19 Rear: 265/30/19
Drop: Time Attack Rear Axle/Ksport Coilovers/Brembo Conversion

 

Thats sick so did you have them redrilled?

 

The conversion came out great man...I converted mine to 5x114 using motorsports tech adapters that were made hub centric to the hub and all, rides great and helped me acquire that "hellaflush"/aggressive stance I was going for.

Wheel: Rota Grid 5x114
Tire: 215/40/18 Falkens "Stretched"
Drop: Progress Springs




If I could only get some REAL coil over action on the RL!! Why the hell did GM make the struts mounts different!!! all suggestions are welcome....

Also, running these adapters might alleviate the problem the SS/TC guys are having with brake clearance, just use the adapters/spacers while ending up with a 5x114 bolt pattern is a win win!

 

Wish i could get these rims for my ss/tc

 

The rim looks good but damn you need some wider tires. How wide is that rim? I can't truly tell from the pics but it looks like the rim sticks out past the fender edge. What is the adapters you have?

 

yea I went for the stretched looked, the vdub and low offset crowd, google "hellaflush" haha....the rims are 8.5" wide, the adapters are by motorsports tech.

 

Wheel: Enkei G5
Tire: BFG R1
Suspension: Needed

 

hey dom1013 what is the adaptor thickness u used? im ordering up some for the 5-114.

 

My bad was late but the lowest they will make the adapter is 20mm...thats what I used because I knew I wanted an aggressive set up. Maybe sure you get the hub centric ones.

 

Well I finally got a reply from tirerack.com about 17's and the SS/TC and they said they only had one set that would fit with out spacers They are the Borbet LV5

 

heres some new pics.
Wheels: Konig Heatsinks 18x7.5
Tires: Nexen N3000 (not great but get the job done)

 

Does anyone know if the g5 17's will clear the ss/tc's brembos with a small spacer like the ss/na 17's? Does anyone have a couple ss/na wheels they would like to sell me?

 

I'm trying to find the Rennen RC2 wheels...
I have already been to mimousa..but they are to high
if anyone knows where I can find some for a decent price
plz pm me

 

I've posted pics in here before, but I got some different ones. Also, these rims are for sale, if you wana pick em up 600$.

 

I am not a fan of most (nearly 99.999%, repeating of course) aftermarket wheels. Yes, I am specifically referring to the barrage of terrible and hideous wheels available for the Cobalt but this percentage reflects equally across just about any car make/model out there.

I am particularly put-off by CSL replicas. They are overdone, overplayed and on everything ever. Except for actual CSL's. Go figure.

In fact, if this were my car (and, sometimes, I desperately wish that it were) I'd have kept the stock, gunmetal 18's. Maybe widened them, but, kept them. They are EXCELLENT, chunky, have MASSIVE loads of appeal and fit the shape of the car REALLY well - forget the matching ebb of color for his color scheme.

But, I have to say - when I saw these in person I smiled. These are good wheels. Noticeable, but not gaudy. Dark, not chrome. No lip, no riddick stupid fitment past the fenders/quarterpanels and no CHEVY-RIDE-HIGH oversize with stupid tires.

Everything else is fail.

 

Wheels: OZ Ultraleggeras
