Sportlines on my 2.2 w/ better wheels! (56k=doom!)

Okay, I promised that I would post some pics once I got my summer wheels and tires back on, so here they are! What do you guys think?

Here's the before and after thread:

As soon as I put them back on, I really started to notice how many people watch me as I drive by. I love that feeling!

ONLY THING THAT CAME TO MIND


THAT LOOKS SO GOOD I WANT TO LICK IT. I AM NOT KIDDING.

I am not one for black rims but holy. good job. the tires are good but not my preference but that is so minor. the size is right. I like a different tread. thats is it. but man good job. be proud.

Thanks, I think. You aren't sure whether or not you like my rims, but you're considering getting them or the Unknowns for your car? I'm confused.

Thanks! The ride is actually a lot better than I was expecting. I kind of thought it would be too harsh, especially with low-profile tires, but it's really not bad at all. And there's a lot less roll during corners and squat during acceleration/braking.

THANKS!!!!!!! I had just put on some tire shine in some of the pics, so maybe that's why they look so tasty! BTW, I LOVE the wingless look on your SS/SC.

We had Nitto NeoGen's on my sister's Eclipse. They are great tires. I was thinking about getting them for the Cobalt, but they wear kinda fast.

Are those 18's or 19's?

It's funny that some people don't like the tread pattern, cause I like them because of the distinctive tread (it's not a drawback to me at all, lol), but yeah, I've heard they do wear a little quickly. They handle pretty well (in the rain and on dry pavement) although anything is an improvement over the 15" stockers.

They're 215/35/18's.

tires are too low of a profile for me...I would've gone 225/4018 personally. nice color car though...if I had a Cobalt it'd probably be orange.
