What Offset Are Your Running?

Hey I was just curious to know what offset everyone with rims is running. A guy at my local wheel shop said 38-42 is the normal hes seen for a Cobalt. Pics would be greatly appreciated, because I want a wheel that is considered a "soft" wheel, where the spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim, there is no deep lip, in fact there is little to no lip at all. I want more of a rally car style look. Here is one example with little to no lip, that is 42mm I think.

Here is a rally style Work Emotion CR-KAI. Look at the pic of the STI. I want these wheels so bad (but in 18's)...

Awesome post some pics ASAP, what did you end up settling on? I remember you posted on the 19's and I suggested the Motegi Traklights.

It depends on the width and diameter of the wheels you want to get, but generaly speaking the higher you go the less "deep-dish" you get, so you would want to get somthing in the mid 40's
