Today a Black on Black ss/sc cobalt was sold at work. It came in and it striked me as being odd. It had 18 inch polished ss wheels. I had noo clue they came like that, is that a new option?

 

I know that the 07's have the polish wheels.

 

yea, the '07's have a high polish wheel option available. Wonder how much that ran the sticker up?

 

it's a no cost option

 

that sweet theres a place in the town over from me that will polish mine. does anyone have any pics of them? id like to see how it looks before i have them polished.

 

i think the gun metal look better with the car.

 

I saw a late model 06 at a dealership near me and it had the polished 18's. The sticker said it was a 395.00 option.

 

Any pics of the polished 18s?

 

I just got my 06 Cobalt SS/SC a couple weeks ago. Its got the polished 18" wheels. I went to a couple dealers to find one with them and they look great. I'll through some pics on as soon as I take a few.

 

The polished wheel option was added mid-year to the '06 models. It is a no-cost option. You can choose them in place of the gunmetal wheels. Personally, I like the gunmetal wheels with black or SOM (Laser Blue is all right too). I think it looks good with the darker colored cars. The high polished wheels look best with the brighter colors (Victory Red, Rally Yellow, and Ultra Silver).

At the end of the day it is just a preference. I like having the gunmetal too because it identifies the car as an SS/SC. Plus it is different than what most other cars come with. The C5 Z06 wheels had the same kind of finish as our wheels and looked really cool. The gunmetal wheels also hide break dust well. Lots of C6 Corvettes are being sold with the competition grey wheels because the look is popular.

 

yea, i just checked gm's website and it is a 395 dollar option. last time i checked it was a no cost option so i dunno.

 

Here are two pictures of my cobalt with the 18" polished wheels.

^ hope you don't mind

 

Looks nice. ALthough the more I see that wing the more I hate it

 

I don't know if i like it or not.

 

looks cheap to me

 

i agree. i think the gunmetal wheels look alot better.

 

agreed.

 

The pics dont do the polished wheels justice. They look great in person.

 

Their bascially just 18 inch 2006 SS2.4 rims.

and SunburstKid is right, the pics don't do them justice.

 

I'm not feeling it.

 

actually on the sticker it was a 395 dollar option.

 

wow, i really like the way that looks. At least he won't have to go back to the dealer 3 or 4 times to get them repainted

 

^^^thats why gm made them ,, i think they look good
