RiCeEaTeR05SS 12-17-2005, 08:12 AM i know i am known for some border line comments, but.....i just cant say much more other then.... i think we have a CobaltSS.net ricer ..... i always hated ot see this happen to a Cobalt, but.... in the end, something had to die, and it was my dream to never see a Cobalt.....riced
nomoreavril 12-17-2005, 11:42 AM if you think its rice..then it is the fastest rice in town...muhahah
cobaltss12 12-17-2005, 11:48 AM Ill be the one to flame then...
Flames... eh... try again...
Wheels? Is your Cobalt the 2.0? If it is... why go from 18" to 15"??
The gap... eeks... lower it... do something to it...
FLCobalt 12-17-2005, 12:50 PM dont listen to these haters on here.
Its your car and if you like it thats what really matters.
Personally i think its cool you did something DIFFERENT.
let the idiots on here all buy the SAME " Custom " parts til the point where its not even custom any more.
Unique always gets more props from me then having something that looks "good" that EVERYONE has.
awesome job.
RiCeEaTeR05SS 12-17-2005, 02:02 PM FL, hasnt Merc already owned you, cause you're the one w/ the fake SS right? :lol:

thanks. and i dont think your car is crappy like most of those guys do just b/c you have an ss wing and want the ss lip kit..just because an upper level car has it doesnt mean you cant think it looks good and want it too..i have an ss wing.
its funny that everyone thinks my car is rice just cuz i have a spoiler that comes on their car...has vinyls..that arent flames btw..and rims...i guess that 350z i saw earlier is rice cuz it had rims on it.
RiCeEaTeR05SS 12-18-2005, 12:44 AM no rims arent rice, yours are, cuz they are 15" rims....that are aftermarket, mounted with low profile tires (or damn near) 15's are good if your gonna put slicks or drag radials on them, seriously, why put a rim on a car thats smaller then a pizza?
oh yeah, you're already posted on fightrice.com, and FL if u can get me some of your pics I'll see if i cant have 2 rice of the month cars :redx:
nomoreavril 12-18-2005, 02:08 AM i think you're a complete dumbass if you think 15 inch rims are rice...just because they are 15 inchs.....its all about taste maybe some people dont like huge ass rims...OR DONT WANT TO PAY THE EXTRA 50 BUCKS A RIM FOR THE BIGGER SIZE AND A WHOLE NEW SET OF TIRES JACKASS
sorry if i'm not oh so fucking rich like you...my god...get a life..i really hope you die.
RiCeEaTeR05SS 12-18-2005, 09:56 AM dude, this is the internet, dont talk shit, no room for e-gangsters, get a job, or go cross back over the border to Mexico, i'm sure they'll love you there
jiveturkey 12-18-2005, 10:35 AM Bhahahahhahahaha
nomoreavril 12-18-2005, 11:32 AM dude, this is the internet, dont talk shit, no room for e-gangsters, get a job, or go cross back over the border to Mexico, i'm sure they'll love you there
for one, i have a job dumbass. and the thing about mexico? wow i cant believe you're still allowed to post here you little racist shit
06CobaltSSSedan 12-18-2005, 12:04 PM I just think the rims are a little small for the car... But hey man Im not gonna down them, its all a personal preference... I agree with someones post earlier about you doing something different than everyone else. Way to be unique!
wesmanw02 12-18-2005, 12:15 PM Umm those are just for winter....right?? :confused:
RiCeEaTeR05SS 12-18-2005, 12:45 PM for one, i have a job dumbass. and the thing about mexico? wow i cant believe you're still allowed to post here you little racist shit
racist no, and this is a public post, little kids can read this and there are people who dont like to read posts w/ excessive use of vulgar language, help out the mods and watch you're language, unless you're to un-educated to use bigger words of more meaning. perhaps hooked on phonics? Critical reading and Thinking 101? Perhaps a spelling bee champion...
Way to go for being different ! Your car is not exactly my scene, but I think it looks ok. Haters will always find a reason to flame you. If you lowered it, put 18" tires and rims and added a body kit, then you would be accused of building a "fake SS". If you intened to make a one of a kind Cobalt, I think you succeeded. Props for having the guts to do it and then post it !
Sempher55 12-19-2005, 02:01 AM Heres what ur posed to say..."i dont like it" thats it... no no! shut up..... just shut up... its his car... his decision. If u dont like it... leave.. if you dont have anything nice to say... then dont say anything at all.
GhostBarracuda 01-24-2006, 01:34 AM This thread delivers!
Tires are FAR too small. If you can't afford rims that are big enough, then, here is an idea.... DON'T BUY NEW RIMS YET. See? Simple, isn't it?
As for your "fastest rice in town", no. It's a Cobalt. Not even an SS. That means you are slower than most of the other cars on the road. You're good for a 17 second 1/4 time. Wow, that's impressive.
I will not complain about the spoiler, because the Cobalt doesn't look right without one.
Graphics? Meh. Wouldn't have them on my car, but those graphics alone does not a ricemobile make.
Your car may not be all that bad, ricewise, but, YOU fit the general ricer stereotype. Loudmouthed, and quick to throw insults when someone doesn't like your car. OMG, SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE MY CAR! I had better call them a fucking asshole, and hope they die! The internet requires that you have a thick skin. Either roll with the punches, or stay off.
That is all.

Um, rims that are big enough for who? He could be a fan of lowriders for all we know, and love the look as small as he can go. Whatever. It's his car, his money, his decision. Honestly, I hope he doesn't care what you guys think. He did what he liked, and thats that. I would do the same thing, and plan on it. I have many plans appearance wise for my car, and I could really care less who doesn't like it, as long as I do.
To nomoreavril, I like it, and the graphics are actually pretty nice. If you're happy, then congrats on the purchase.
gonzo 01-24-2006, 04:55 AM It would fit-in in a country like Thailand, just blow it up and get the insurance money for it so you can start over.
IonNinja 01-24-2006, 12:42 PM at the very least I would have gotten 16" wheels, for $100 a piece you could have even gotten some 17" wheels. I would have saved my money if I were you because anything smaller is just not worth it.

Something different????? HA. If you consider being ricey different than yeah. That is pure rice right there. There's no use for the 15's unless you are putting dr's on it. The graphics are well, graphics. That's rice right there. You have to lower it to make it look somewhat decent and respectable. But as of this moment, mostly everyone that will see you on the road will point and laugh at you. I hate to have said what I have said but that is rice and someone has to say it.

100% agreed...dont buy rims until they are the ones you are gonna want for the rest of the cars life, thats how i look at it, save until you can get what you want...if you want 15s then i guess more power to you, but seriously, why buy the same size as stock what is the point? my 15s are on right now but thats for winter, and i plan on putting drag radials on two of them just for the track...and sportlines will really help with the look, im thinking about lowering mine more becuase it still sits kinda high....and I LIKE THE NO SPOILER LOOK ON COBALTS :( lol
love my SS 01-24-2006, 01:30 PM wow, and to think i almost stoped reading this thread. i feel the love in here. anyway, you asked not to be flamed, but yet you put the pics up and implied you wanted our opinions. well i believe you got em, please dont hate us for not liking them, just cause i dont like the wheels and graphics dosent mean i dont like you.....but imho,,,,,go back to stock dude.....it looks gay. :barf:
R33P3R007 01-24-2006, 01:42 PM I still like them. have you done anything with that wheel gap yet?
SuperchargedSS 01-24-2006, 01:49 PM I'd throw a lift kit in there, along with a baja light rack and a spare on the back :
silverSS 01-24-2006, 01:58 PM I'd throw a lift kit in there, along with a baja light rack and a spare on the back :
bahahaha
but def. not my taste, im speechless :lol:
Dark-Fx 01-24-2006, 02:08 PM i know you all will flame me for either my rims, or my decals, or spoiler, or all three
Agreed, All 3.
gonzo 01-24-2006, 02:50 PM I can't believe this crap! Why would the aftermarket waste their time making a lift kit for our cars instead of making performance parts for the motor?!!!! :thumbsdow
c7015 01-24-2006, 03:17 PM HAHA I love this guy ...his ride makes me laugh ...he half asses all these "mods" to fit an image ...but all these half attempts put together make you look like a joke .....I also love how the other Fake SS ricers come out and defend him ...the whole situation is comical
it looks like an rca car with a lift kit .... lol
plyboy-illest 01-24-2006, 03:31 PM lower it and it should be fine
GhostBarracuda 01-24-2006, 03:33 PM Um, rims that are big enough for who?
The car, obviously. Those rims are WAY too small. If you want to go for the lowrider look, then not only do you buy smaller rims, you lower the car. He said he didn't want to lower the car, instead he would buy a bodykit to make it LOOK lower, therefore he was NOT going for the lowrider look. Instead, he was going for the ricer look.
And, if you read his replies at all, AND my post, you will notice, he DOES let us bother him. Which is stupid. But, ammusing for me.
NoleafClover 01-24-2006, 11:20 PM lol this thread just keeps going, regardless....if you dont like what he has just say look dude i dont like what u have heres my opinion about what u may wanna look into...instead of calling him mexican...although it is kinda funny....besides....everyone does something different...i cant really say im in love with it either but im not gonna rag on him forever about it...people need to relax, car forums= to discuss cars not to insult everyones taste's...and i agree with ghost, it is amusing.
niknyce 01-25-2006, 12:27 AM I didnt read the whole thread.. and I sure as hell dont need to.. whoever is defending him... well... hahahahah.. He somehow made the car look worse then it did.... The graphics are horrible... doesnt match or flow at all... wheels are stupidly small... The spoiler........*speachless*
This is MY opinion.. not saying you have to agree with it.. but youd have to pay me good money to drive that thing... even if it is fast...
Mercury 01-25-2006, 12:44 AM Alright I think this kid has had enough bashing, I think he gets the idea that most of us don't favor his modifications
wikkymaster 01-25-2006, 12:45 AM its funny that everyone thinks my car is rice just cuz i have a spoiler that comes on their car...has vinyls..that arent flames btw..and rims...i guess that 350z i saw earlier is rice cuz it had rims on it.
15s usually arent considered RIMS, most people probably think they came on the car stock
Mercury 01-25-2006, 12:48 AM One more thing.
You are right wikkymaster. Like it is hard to picture that those rims are actually these: http://www.12voltzperformance.com/albums/album11/Konig_Reason.thumb.jpg :lol:
GhostBarracuda 01-25-2006, 03:51 AM 15s usually arent considered RIMS
Depends on the car. Mine came with 14s stock. Then again, my wheel wells and ride height are alot smaller than new cars. For me, 15s would be an upgrade. But, anything bigger than 15s wouldn't fit, unless I got those little rubberband tires that just look incredibly gay.
See, here it is. I'd like to upgrade my rims. But, I can't afford 15s that actually look good (such as Cragars, or Rallyes) So, instead of buying new 14 inch rims, I DIDN'T BUY ANY RIMS AT ALL. Leaving me with some money to start a better rims fund.
