New wheels!

Well I know I'm a base model and not a lot of people will really care, lol, but I got some new 18 inch shoes for the Balt! Traded my stocker's for em dead even. We hopefully will be repainting the car in the spring and when that happens the spokes on these baby's will be painted black! Somehow I've got to find and afford an SS front bumper before then too, but anyways on to the pics, and sorry bout the crappy phone pics but it's all I've got, lol.

personally i woulda kept my stockers... but depending on tire life u had on your stockers and the tire life on these it coulda been an ok deal.. they dont look too bad, but definately nothing impressive imo

Compared to some of the **** i have seen thrown on cobalts... this is nice.

I think you did well and it looks clean.

Tire life wasn't horrible on my stocks but one of the tires I had to replace with a used one due to being run off the road and I had to keep putting air in it cause it would leak down every few days, these on the other hand have great tires and no leaks. Plus I think they will look really good with the spokes black. I know they're nothing fancy, but I like them and in the end that's all that really matters I guess, lol. Plus I don't think I could have done much better especially given my current financial situation, lol

not a bad choice, and definately a good deal! i've seen muuuch worse looking replacement rims on here, these would have looked better on a porsche or something but really pretty good on ur car.

Thanks alot guys! Once my financial situation straightens out there will be some major changes with the car. This car has been my good luck charm cause I haven't spent a dime on anything I've done yet. I've pretty much lucked up on everything that's been done to it, lol. I'm so glad I found these cause in the end I think it should all look perfect.

But why aren't you here now? lol. There's no one around here in the Cobalt scene. There's one guy I've seen over in East Ridge that has a red Balt with carbon fiber hood and trunk but I've never got to actually talk to him. We always seem to be going the opposite way when we meet, lol. There's also a nice blue SS I've seen too that's got some stuff done to it but those people aren't on here I guess...
