never seen those before..they look good

 

Hey guys. I don't know how many of you saw my other thread where I couldn't make a decision between black wheels or silver wheels (https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76487), but I finally made a purchase. I found these on craig's list and I was very weary of doing this, but I thought about it for about 2 weeks and I finally met up with the guy, and he was very cool. The whole setup (wheels and tires mounted) came up to $650. He only had about 5 miles on them (his wife made him get rid of them), so I became the lucky one.













These are Akuza 18" wheels with Nankang 215/35/18 tires. I always thought these tires were pretty cheap since the price was too, but I was wrong. They perform great and they grip the asphalt like nothing else. 100,000% better than those shitty Continentials.

The only downside is the tires. Since they are 215mm wide, the lip on the wheel sticks out pretty far. I plan on putting on some 225/35/18 tires later on so I have a little bit of a thicker sidewall and protection for the lip of the wheel.

Before anyone says anything: I will be getting Eibach Sportlines very soon. So there is no need to enlighten me about the fender gap. I actually think I was one of the lucky ones with the gap. It isn't as terrible as some other Cobalts that I have seen, but it still is.

I wanna hear comments!! Thanks guys!

 

How the hell did your post get put before mine?!? HAHA

Anyways, Thanks a lot man! I get so many head-turns with these... it's great!

 

LMAO i deserve 5446457654 rep points for that lol

 

nankangs are good tires. I had them on my thunderbird. I do think you should go with 50 series when you get the money and close that gap.

 

I don't think I would like a 50 series... way too big for me. I like the tuner-thin-sidewall look anyways, so the 35's seemed perfect to me. Plus, that gap will go away with some sportlines. Thanks for the comments, though!

haha...done! lol that's some crazy ****.

 

my nickname is speed poster lol

 

On the thread listing it even says you started the thread now!! haha

lol Maybe a mod can fix it for me...

 

Looks' nice just need to lower it now!!!
