Awesome Wheels / Group Buy?

I have been having a hard time finding wheels for my 06 Cobalt SS/SC. After calling differant companies and talking the most help I have found was from Wheel Max. I will post a pic of the wheel I like because if we can get enough people interested we could do a group buy. They would be willing to make these wheels in our rare bolt pattern. Let me know what you all think...



I like these rims because of the lip and deep dish look. What do you think with a staggered look? 17s on the front, and 18s on the rear?

Here is another one I personally like.

Loose the fake carbon fiber and they wouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for the input. We could get them in any finish. Hyper Silver, Gunmetal....ect. I like the carbon fiber look. Hell, to each his own.

Those rivets (fake or not) make it a pain to clean though ...

if you're going to do staggered, do staggered width, not diameter.

What is the weight on these wheels? I'd like a set in 18's in gunmetal possibly if the weight is low.

The staggered look, guess I'm still in Camaro mind set since thats what I used to roll in. For performance it would be better to have wider in the front for traction, and isnt it true that some people have 17s in the front also for perforamnce and weight loss? I don't know but I just think bigger wheels in the back would look cool. Again I must be stuck in that Camaro mind set. Had 18s on the back and 17s on the front. Wide ass 10 inch in back and like 8 in front.

if you want to do straight line performance, skinny tires in the back and fat wide oines up frontw ill be best. you also want a smaller rim to cut down on rotational mass. However, take that setup to the street and it'll suck hardcore. I'm all about keeping the same diameter on all four corners unless its a street rod. However, 10 inch wide rims in the back with some incredible dish...I can't deny that!

lose the rivets and the CF, not too bad

17's front and 18's rear isn't staggered, staggered is different widths front and rear
