need advice! bad! please help!

I have a 2006 cobalt lt, currently with 16 in stock wheels. I was looking to do 17 inch ASA AR1 in black, with a tire size of 215/45/17. I looked in the "show off your aftermarket wheels" thread, and some of the 215/45/17 wheels left a goofy gap in the wheel well, so i started looking at 18 inch wheels. I prefer a simple black wheel with the machined lip, like the ASA AR1, Nogaro, etc.

Any ideas on wheels i can do, and post pics if you have any!

Get a wheel where the spokes extend the lenght of the wheel. Like the one I posted. That wheel would look clean. Don't get the 17" ar1s. In my opinion those type of wheels only really look good in 19". Also buy springs for you car. It will look 1000x better then the stock suspision with new wheels.
