Question How Are These Rims Gonna Look??

I'm gonna get rims for my Cobalt. I've found some 18" that I like and they'll fit. I don't have a very good imagination so I can't picture what these are gonna look like on my car. There are chrome center caps that match the design of the rims but they're not shown in the pic. How do you think these rims will look on my car? Sorry the picture of the car's not real good.

UPDATE
Laugh at me if you want to but I bought the rims they were too good of a deal to pass up. I think I can make them work if I put some more chrome on the car. Do you know of any chrome additions that look good? Im gonna do something with the grille.

My car:


The Rims

Absolutely horrible, no offence.

Sell your wing, and with the money lower the car.

I agree with everyone else. Get the hotswaps. They'd look good on that car. no offense or anything, but i have to agree with the others and suggest removal of the wing.

lose the wing and make some money, then use that money to buy some lowering springs to go with the rims. honest opinion, crome on the balts . . . not so much, not a bad design though.

are they 4x100? 5 bolt 5x110 wont fit that car like a SS.

I wanted SS stock rims but they wont fit because of that fact.

Please don't put those on a Cobalt. Its whatever you like, but I think they'll look really bad on a Cobalt.

They're 8-100/114.3. They'll fit on a standard 4 or 5 lug hub. I never thought about lowering the car. That's a good idea!


I was going to get a body kit to go with the rims. Aftermarket rims of any kind arnt going on the car until after winter. Does anybody have a silver cobalt with chrome rims I can see pics of myself? Or maybe that looks so bad, nobody does. I like the design of the rims but I have no idea about the chrome. The reason I'm asking, is that the full set of rims are $300 right now. There being liquidated by a local company thats going under. I don't want to miss out on such a good deal. But if it really is gonna look BAD I dont want to do it.

I asked for everyone's opinion. And they gave me what I asked for. I jsut didn't think they would be so pointed about it. But seriously I'd like to see a picture of the chrome/silver combo please.

You have no other chrome on the car, i would stay away from chrome wheels, brushed, then maybe theyd look okay.
