Opinions wanted!!

I am searching for wheels, and am no good at photoshop. I found a set I really want to get, however, I am not quite sure how they will look. I own a white LS 2006 cobalt.

These are the wheels I am currently thinking about getting, if have any better suggestions, I am open for them

if you do go with those go gunmetal or silver, bronze is fugly... 16's are kinda small you might regret going that small

Click here, select color, scroll over till you find a wheel that looks similar and click on it. (I thought 78 was a good match)

Depends on what the intentions are he has for the wheels. Some people just don't like big wheels, some people would rather run smaller wheels for the performance benefits (less rotating mass, and typically lighter). I run both 16s and 17s on my SS/SC, I only use the 18s for daily driving.

100% correct. the wheel size isn't really related to performance the way that most people seem to think. don't believe me? watch when an old 2002 beats you up in autocross on 14s
