Exclamation Opinions on wheels

I have a black Ls and I am looking at wheels for my car, http://www.edgeracing.com/2005/Chevr...alt/wheels/17/ has a few examples of wheels I like for my balt, I like the enkei rp02(1st set of rims), the flik lex(5th down), the flik fuel both the gloss black and silver(6th and 7th down), and the flik Ftd(8th down). Please visit the site and post your opinions, your advice will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: i should have put this under the wheel section huh o well

The link worked for me, I dunno why it won't work for you, but if you just goto http://www.edgeracing.com/2005/Chevr...alt/wheels/17/, it should say under the select vehicle 2005 chevy cobalt(if not fill that in), then under the wheels and bundles section on the rleft, click 17s, then check the wheels i asked for opinions on or give some suggestions. thanks

man I really like those Black Racing Pro N1 wheels...I think a set of bronze ones on my car would be nice!

there are a few wheels I like on that site, mainly these ones:
Black Racing Pro N1
Enkei Rpf1
5zigen Fn01r-c
Flik Wasp

get any of these wheels and your car will be hot

Should I go with 17s or 18s, I kno that if I want performance go 17s, but for looks go 18s, I'm leaning towards looks right now so I like 18s, but if I get the 18s will I have problems with rubbing?

The 18" selection seems limited and to me, not as good looking.

Although I have never heard of Flik, I really like the Lex (Gloss Titanium). My neighbor has some wheel that look very similar, but in chrome on his Black Jetta and it looks really hot. I think the Gloss Titanium will look great on your blue car. (I was actually thinking of asking my neighbor what they were and seeing if I could buy a set)

Sorry, I assumed blue since you had the blue user bar. If you can get them polished they would look awesome on your black car then. Like I said, my neighbor has a black Jetta with polished rims very similar, if not the same, and it looks great.

That is a matter of opinion. I think polished rims look good, if they are a minimal design like those. That is entirely up to you though. Silver would probably look good too. I just like rims that stand out a little more.
