Rockstar wheels on a SS/TC

I just ordered a set of KMC Rockstar's for my wifes SS, they don't even make this wheel in a 5x110 but when I called about them the guy said they had some blanks that werent drilled yet and could custom make a set for me. I won't get them until mid june. The only problem is they are 18x8 with a 42mm offset, he guarantees they will work or I can return them. What do ya'll think? My tires are 235/40/zr18

i think it'll be a little less, or flush, with the fender. so it'll look perfect

I think they'll probably look good. I've only ever seen them on trucks so I can't say for sure.

to each his own I guess, but I like them. They are not the same as the xd series for the trucks, thinner spokes, smaller center, and the spokes are flat and flush to the outside instead of inset, and nobody else will have them on a Cobalt SS, I hate lookin like everybody else.

Hey Guys, can you tell by the pics if this car has been lowered or is it stock ride height?

There is a guy locally here that has them on his blue SS. They look pretty good. He did just as you did, had them custom drilled
