Need opinions on rims...

This is how my cobalt currently looks like:



This upcoming summer, i will be removing the over-played evo mod and thinking about going wingless. However, i'm still very unsure of what kind of rim to aim for...i want something unique or not too common. I found this earlier today:



Thoughts? I'm just worried that gold rims won't fit too nicely with the black headlights i have on now. Thanks in advance

I like the rims, but in my opinion they would look better in black on your car

Yeah i was initially going to go black ekm3's...I guess i can always do that and if ever i want the gold look i can look into pricing for a powder coat...
Are there any rims that fit our cars that already come in gold? i found like 2 but they were kinda bad.

I was thinking to buy the 3rd gen for Christmas. Any particular reason why you are saying to him to get rid of them?
Thank you
Christian

I am a big fan of the gold/red scheme, looks real good IMO. don't do black if your trying to do something different.

So you want to remove the over-played evo mod and add the over-played wingless mod while trying to be "original"?

Without bringing more attention to that oxymoron...I'll suggest Enkei EV5s in Bronze. Red + Gold or Bronze looks really good.

That was more of a momentary consideration, i am keeping the wing as is.
And yeah I've looked into the ev5's, wasn't sure how good bronze would look with the red though.
