Still the only "stanced" cobalt to actually go out and do something besides park in a parking lot, know what that means? Im not out to be the lowest, Love slammed cars but for me having a good mixture of both is what I set out to achieve.

Nate where did you get your bbs from? I'm done trying to get varrstoen to make 17x9 lm reps so I dunno if there's a good used market for them?

Alright guys so, I was gonna ask this question over on the WRX forums, but I like you guys better

I'm going to grab some H&R coilovers and a set of wheels over the winter, but I need some help with fitment. You guys may or may not know, but I figured i'd ask you all first.

I am between 3 wheels:

Enkei NT03+M in white


Enkei RPF1 in SBC


Rota Torque in Titanium Chrome (if I can find the 18x8.5 in chrome that is, if not then probably white)


Now I have never fooled with offsets, coilovers, or anything to do with stance. I don't want slammed, but I do want low and functional. So my question to you guys is, for a 18x8.5 wheel what offset will I need? It's on a 2009 WRX

Yeah that are a beast of a wheel, but they don't come in a polished/chrome application, so i'm not sure if I want to go that route or not, but they are a leading option. I'm leaning mostly towards the RPF1's myself...

Cant go wrong with an RPF1! haha how much are those NT03's? If they are cheaper then maybe you can get them powdercoated to a color that you want?

Honestly I don't know I haven't really priced anything yet, the coils i'm getting are 1300, so i'm setting my wheel budget at 2300 for wheels/tires. I'd say that's easily doable! Honestly though, white and polished are the only two colors I think would really go. I don't want any crazy colors cause they just don't go with red

I'm able to get a set of these wheels, in this colour, for dirt cheap next season..I'm a little worried about a 9.75'' wide wheel in front though--you have any comments on it?

**EDIT** Just realized yours are 18s..I'm assuming they're the 8.75 right? The ones I'm talking about are 17x9.75

This car is so badass looking. I seen it in person saturday and I honestly took a hub swap and coilovers into consideration for my winter project for the car.

Props man!
