EKM3 with Falken 615 or Powdercoat Stock TC Rims

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what to do, I like the look of the EKM3 gunmetal color, just not sure how it would look on my imperial blue SS/TC, I'm looking at a set wrapped in 235 Falken 615s, or should i powdercoat my stock TC rims a gunmetal color or even gold, and go with another tire?

I need new tires, so i'm exploring both options. Any suggestion on a good 235 tire?

are u lowered yet?

if so make sure the tires u get dont run larger than another tire in the same class (235/40/18)

the nitto tires run a tad bigger i seen and cause rubbing. the set im currently on drop rub, the Hankook EVO V12 ventus long title haha

the ekm3's will look great, they look good on every other cobalt with them.

I'm lowered on Sportlines, and I know a guy who runs BFG Geforce Sport and they don't rub with 235/40/18 with Sportlines.

I think i'm just going to get the stock powder coated, but not sure which tire to get.

Bronze TC wheels! EKM3's are ugly IMO and heavier than TC wheels.
