Enkei Falcon's...Like em or love em?

I found out about another new set of Enkei wheels that are coming out for the cobalt.

I really like them, And they are under the performance series so they should be around the 200 dollar price range which would be damn good

I like them. The spokes look a bit chunky though. They are probably about the same weight as the stock wheels.

You should shop them on and see how they look.

These would look sick on a SRTC car!... Or a blue car! lol. Gunmetal works well with those colors. The Alleggerita's would look better, but it's hard to justify $375/wheel.

Yea, I love the alleggerita's but they are hella expensive...I like the look of these and they are a 5 spoke design which i really wanted it. Would look good with my new rotors :P

How much could I get for my set of ss/sc wheels that are polished. One is bent with road rash. Rest are pretty damn good.

i dont think they look bad at all. im not seeing a cragar in them at all either. the thinkg that might have you guys seeing that is the web for the lugs. that might be the only resemblence that i can see.

You will get more $$$ if you sell each good wheel individually.

actually if you know anyone that has a set of factory wheels they want to get rid of let me know. I only have one rim bad but the cheapest replacement rim is 250 bucks.

I'm on the fence. I'd have to see it on the car. Most likely a no.
