Yeah the install on rotors is very easy. How much did those run you? I was thinking about getting them awhile back, but in black

Question: Is that close-up of the wheel/rotor on the drivers or passenger side? I hope drivers, otherwise your rotors are on backwards and you've got some issues to address.

lol yea i guess the tires arent the most craziest tire but i go through them so fast it doesnt matter. and having another rim you could sell them or keep them.
there lexani n3000 they have a nice tread pattern with a deep lug and they are pretty responsive!

I feel you on that one. I'd love to lower my car. But i'm not so sure it'd be worth while here in good ole Lebanon Valley, Pennsylvania.........emphasis on Valley. Our roads suck. Everywhere a parking lot or side road connects with a road there is a ridiculous and totally unecessary dip and I scrape way too much already.

Not sure on the rims... definately not my style but they dont look bad on your car, I think black might have set the car off a bit more but thats just my opinion.

As far as lowering goes excuses excuses guys... I've had every car i've ever owned lowered and my driveway is no gem by any means. Even the eibach sportlines that I have on the Cobalt don't make the car too low to be able to drive. I've never scraped anywhere other than that plastic shield that hangs down below the radiator.
