Thats exactly what my pops said! But I really hate chrome/polished surfaces with a passion. hahah And I'm saving for retros/ or just black housing stockers. Does everyone really think to keep them polished?

Oh, and thanks I'm tryin to keep a real clean streamlined look to it. Not bad for a 2.2 eh?

Well its just our opinions, do what you want. If you hate polished ditch it. Go with ya gut! But since you already have the evo mod in black I'd say black. Would look really nice with black housings.

Yea, we will see. hahaha. They just look outta place I think. If anything, I think they'll be powdercoated black or white. I was thinkin purple for a while but I dont want anyone to think I'm drivin a civic.

Let me just say, that I cannot stand the Cobalt Sedans... I just don't like them, and you have an absolutely beautiful car man, it's so clean. I'd say either leave the rims polished (which looks awesome already) or go flat black, as cliche as that is.
