Sterns on a Cobalt

I'm not a photographer but I hope these do.

I'm lowered on Canuck Motorsports springs. Tires are 235/35/19's. Stern ST6, I was inspired to get them because of Bumpin'Balt's car.

Everyone has a different taste

They are nice wheels, however I don't personally like them.

Car is clean though, it is always nice to see something other than the stock wheels. Why did you decide to go with a 19" wheel?

I like it, I think its the fact you'd expect to see some big brakes behind those to offset the size some that leaves something to be desired.

They look really good. I like them quite a bit and they go really well with the black.
Personally I would like them better if they were less shinny.

Thanks for the input. As for the brake setup. I'm not going to upgrade because these don't clear the Brembo's, and because I plan on grinding the front calipers down to put slicks on the car. Then I plan on painting them, unsure of what color though. Why I went with these wheels? Well... I love the Enkei PF01's and the RPF-01's but nearly every Cobalt is running the same setup on this site. I like to stand out. I also bought these nearly 2 years ago and finally put some tires on them. I got them for a really good price. The entire package with shipping included(Canadian :[) was roughly $1400.

You mean like this?

Mine are the Hyperblack version. The spokes are painted with machined face and lip.



Brake painting/maintenance is a must with these wheels. I paint my calipers and rotor hats every spring.

I think it looks good! And yeah I agree w/ the majority, bc those wheels are so open you gotta paint your calipers. Lookin good though man There's not too many people on here with 19's anymore either, only a select few

Thank you. I've been very busy with school and work. Laziness isn't a good thing. I could still powdercoat these wheels. We will see what the future brings.

It's the spokes that hit the calipers. It sucks. I painted my calipers but haven't put them on the car yet

I welcome criticism. People on this forum don't have a brain of their own and don't know what originality is. I get MANY, and I mean MANY compliments from locals and any other people that see the car in person. The least of my worries is some car "community" telling me that the car is ugly with the wheels on them.

Maybe I should go rattle can my stock rims black and spray paint my taillights black too. Possibly lower it so far that I can't even drive the thing, but DANG, I want to be stanced too!

Again, thank you. No, I'm not butt hurt either. Rather disappointing that this "community" is worse to each other than the only other compared community to us, The Honda World. By Honda I mean Civic because according to people that's the only car they've ever made and we choose to insult it because we feel threatened by a car that is slower than ours.

Actually refreshing to see something different than all the pf01, msr stance **** on this website. Looks like you could clear a parking speed bump too.

Nice to see something different. IMHO, should probably paint the calipers. I think them even being painted black would look better
