Look at me!
Look at me!

They do look better without the fender stripes...I know it sucks to have a silver car...not many options to go with for wheels. I've got the bronze ev5s on my silver HHR...I think it looks good.

I think silver on gunmetal looks best on silver. This is coming from a guy who doesn't care for crazy wheel colors though.

Its more the wheels. IMO any other color than polished or gun metal looks like **** on the broad lines of the SS/SC wheels.

If it is your style and you can rock it, I like it! I love a little originality. I also have a Silver Cobalt. Naturally, a tough color to work. I think some accents will go a long way. Can't wait to see what you can create.

Summary of this thread, is that you should have painted them black like everybody else if you wanted to be cool

Im one of those few that actually love the sssc wheels lol

I got tired of being cool. People hate on the balts no matter what, might as well be able to say 'hey brah you just got waxed by a cavalier with blue wheels!'

Hey, Rice! Why don't you do Porsche GT3 RS style ? Paint grabber blue on your mirror cap and your high rise wing on both end sides and leave carbon fiber that you screw in with. You'll defiantly hit the spot!

I look at them and look at them to try and see it. I know it's your style and that's why you did it. But thumbs down for me. Ugly. But I'm not a big fan of the smurf blue color at all so that may have something to do with it.

Too me the wheels seem like they are almost competing with the color of your car for attention...it clashes but not in a good way. I think a darker more metalic blue would look set off the car more so

i'm liking these.

its amazing (well maybe not) how much people actually go out of their way to love or hate on these wheels. like i was on the phone near my car and some guy caught my attention just to tell me he hated them. i said 'well i don't like your truck...' (old ass dodge truck lol)

others have straight stopped me while walking away from the car to tell me it looks sick and asking quesitons blablabla, everyone at work gives me so much **** for them. funny stuff.

With something as extreme as the color of the wheels it's a love/hate thing...you won't have many in-betweens. I think if it were a different style wheel maybe more people would jump on board but the SC/NA wheels are kinda blah to begin with...the only color I've seen pulled off on them is gold/bronze...I don't even like them in black. Just my 2 cents...
