New Rims!!

As promised, I would post the pictures of my new rims when I got the tires put on, so here it is.

They are MST brand, blacked-out chrome, 18", bought for $200 brand new at a car show

Went on my silver 2006 Cobalt LT

Lowering is a must. Wheels look good though.

I no doubt want to lower it, might just be a problem because of the shitty-ness of the roads where I live in PA

I know what you mean with the Shitty-ness. I'm on Sportlines. I've gotten use to it, you should be fine.

I like em, I think I'd like em more if the lugs weren't covered, the centers seem to flat and nothing going on

and get CM springs, It doesn't even feel like I lowered my car when I'm driving around

Oh and dont mind how the taillights look.. long story short I used too much VHT, got pulled over, nothing is taking it off, not even paint thinner or brake cleaner.. New tails are pre-tinted and will be on tomorrow

also in other pics, yes behind pikachu is a set of train horns.. and yes i enjoy having pink brakes
