GM Performance wants your input (Black Graphite wheels).
I think they look great, but I wouldn't pay for the option. I'm more for performance type stuff, plus I think the new tc wheels are already beautiful. There are probably alot of people who would pay for them though, so I think they should offer them. I would pay for a lighter wheel thought.
f*ck yes i want them.....the new wheels are sexy anyways, and if they come in black.....game over, lol......I wouln't expect to pay much if any at all because usually if you buy the car with the options its cheaper way cheaper than if you try to buy it after (i.e. limited slip $495 option).......but yeah $295 like the optional paint colors and audio upgrades would be a reasonable price....Are they seriously considering doing this as an option?
I am now really torn between the aluminum wheels, and these dark grey wheels. I am getting a Black SS/TC, so I kinda want to see them on a black car. But from how they look on the yellow balt, I think they will look amazing.
These wheels are lighter than the SS/sc wheels, due to less material, and these are forged, compared to the cast ss/sc wheels.
Now all they gotta do, is offer these in Magnesium, and I'll be all set.

These wheels look great. If these where available as an option I would definitely pick them over any aftermarket wheel for sure. Since I already plan on getting a fully loaded 2008 Cobalt SS, the price isn't a huge deal, but anything under $500 is definitely reasonable.

I think if they had a polished lip on them I would do it (even though I don't know if it could be done), I'm just not a fan of completely black rims, they usually look too cheap. Theses ones probably look a little better in person though.
They have my vote!!!!! The new LNF is so sick in person and they sound amazing, they could of made better I/C piping though and gave alittle more room for the turbo to have some more space around it, it is going to heat soak really bad
Those are sick, the ss/tc looks awesome too. IMO, the lsj looked great from the factory and they just did a couple minor adjustments to improve it. I think they will definitely add it as an option too, since they had the gunmetal rims for the ss/sc for years. I vote yes.
I think it's pretty sweet the GM Performance Team is starting to come on here and listening to our opinions now. I know the VW engineers base there designs heavily on VWVortex. People on here have great ideas and opinions
