Wheels look really small what size are they? Not a fan of the style rim but it will look better when dropped!

17" they look small b/c of the huge gap between them and the wheel well.

Wheels really make a difference in looks. I just got mine on last week. Needs lowering to get rid of gap though.

whats the tire size on those wheels?

man u guys need to save up $200 more bucks immediately and drop those things...I think a drop makes an even more drastic appearance difference than wheels.

I agree with ion ninja i have a drop on my base cobalt with out wheel and i think that it looks better than the ones with wheels and no drop at all. And not a big fan of the Motegi wheels there are much better wheels out there for around the same price.

Iam going with the Enkie RSV 17 in bronze it should look great on the arrival blue

Aye, and with 17's you would probably need a lower drop than the eibach prolines give.

looks good boys. Curse of the GM WheelGap Strikes again though....

We need like a 3" drop just to look half as good as the SS/SC guys with their sportlines on.
