Looking to get soem rims for my G5 after it gets tinted today. Just wondering what everyone thinks. I'm not really into the majority black rims so I left those options out. If you want to pick other, please post which ones you think would work best. My car has a 5x110 offset. Thanks
Tirerack G5


My Car.


1. ASA JH9


2. AT Italia Inox


3. Borbet Type XL


If anyone can photoshop the rims they like onto my car, that would be great. Also if anyone has these rims on thier cars, please post pics of them. Tirerack usually doesn't do the rims justice on their site.

 

IMO the ASA's are your best bet.. i actually looked at those wheels for a moment... the others are OK but the ASA's are NICE... Just my thoughts

 

if your car is the se/base why are you looking at 5 bolt rims?

wait.. WTF!! how do you have an SE and have a 5 bolt wheel pattern?

 

The 2007 Cobalt/G5's with the sport package are 5x110 I believe, correct me if I am wrong

 

what the f*** what motor is in it?

i was 100% sure that only the gt's came in 5x110 no the lower models,

maybe they changed it up for the 07's i noticed the 07 base was given a sunroof option this year as well.

 

it does look like he has a 5 bolt pattern,nevertheless I would choose rim #2, still think the stock G5 GT rims look better than those three choices though

 

Hey i like the Borbet Type XL will look the best but if you like the whole lip thing then i would go with the first one

 

I like the ASA JH9's.... ASA is a kick butt rim, read up on it at the Tire Rack site... the factory is state of the art... they used BBS to help them implement quality production and manufacturing techinques
I have the JH8's for my snows and I love them

the JH9's are beautiful.... just remember you'll have to clean around all those bolt heads

 

I like the third ones the best.

 

In 1990, ASA decided to build a state-of-the-art alloy wheel manufacturing facility. Knowing the complexity and challenge this presented, ASA went to BBS in Germany to tap the best technical knowledge in facility design, manufacturing processes and quality controls for producing high quality alloy wheels. Production began at the new facility in Jeywon, South Korea in March 1992.

Their agreement with BBS, a world leader in wheel technology, engineering and manufacturing with over two decades of success in the racing community and the high-end aftermarket worldwide, is still in effect today. This cooperative agreement gives ASA valuable access to technical and product information that BBS gains from their motorsports and manufacturing involvement.

By basing its quality standards around those used by BBS, in 1994 ASA became one of the first alloy wheel companies to obtain ISO9001. In 1999 ASA obtained QS9000 certification, one of the highest quality standards in the automotive industry. (ISO9001 and QS9000 are world-recognized standards for quality.)

These high quality standards have allowed ASA to produce over 750,000 Original Equipment wheels per year for vehicle manufacturers in Europe and Asia. With a total capacity to produce over 1.2 million wheels per year, ASA produces aftermarket wheels with the excess capacity and exports to 51 countries around the world.

The ASA name, Artisan Spirited Alloy, is reflected in their exotic, elegant, and exciting wheel designs.

remember quality does matter!!!

 

I saw the ASA's on a member's ride on Saturday:

 

I think the ASA's would look the best. What size are you going with? 18?

 

Well i'm partial to the JH9's becuase I have them. Check them out.

I like all 3 though man. That's a tough one. You picked good looking rims.

If it came down to it I would say the JH9's or the Borbets.

 

I say 1 or 3.

 

#2 Ftw!

 

Correct. In 2007 all G5's with the sport package have 5x110 bolt pattern. Maybe I shoudl just pretend I did a swap...




Yeah my base basically has everything the Gt does minus the engine and lip kit. It has the 5x110 sport package, xm for a year, leather steering wheel and shifter, sun roof, 5 speaker pioneer, etc...

I'm really torn between #1 and #3. CTCOBALTSSS those JH9's look awesome on your car, its the main reason I'm stuck between the two. Does anyone have pics of the Borbet actually on a car? Also If anyone has time, can you chop those 2 choices on my car for reference. Thanks for all the comments, car just got back from tint tonight and the mod bug is biting me again.

 

Go with #1.

 

I like #3, but I'm worried they would be too "flashy" on a somewhat stock g5. Can somebody photoshop #1 on my car please?

 

How much do the Borbet Type XL weigh?

 

The JH9s by far. I came very close to getting some JH9s, but they were a bit heavy so I decided on another wheel, as I plan on autocrossing/drag racing a good bit over the summer.
