@ VapeWI

Do Cobalts come with those wheels? I just put my stock 16" HHR wheels on today and those are exactly the same.

I think they are LTZ cobalt wheels. I'm not sure I bought them from another member on here just to have a second set to run winter tires on.

Why go that low?! Seriously. Unless you guys like ripping the sh*t out of your undercarriage on every speed bump and pot hole I see no need for it. If you're doing it just for looks its ridiculous if you ask me. I guarantee no one in this thread takes corners fast enough to need that kind of drop in the first place.

Not everyone speeds over speedbumps. Some people do know how to drive.

It's not a matter of speeding over them. not everyone wants to take speed bumps at an angle to keep from scraping the bottom of their cars across concrete. Maybe where yall are from speed bumps are tiny but here they average like 2 inches tall or better. Being slammed on the ground causes them to rub. Hell my car sits about 3 1/2 off the ground and I still rub sometimes. I've seen enough jacked up undercarriages to know that it's a retarded idea.

Well I've been driving slammed for years. Even more on my old car. And I haven't mangled my old car at all. And I drive alot and everywhere and through winter. I guess it all depends on if you know how to drive a slammed car.

So much hate in here...OP is not asking for opinions on whether slamming it with 16s would look legit...OP is looking for ******* pics..everyone is so quick to hate on people's ideas. Who cares what he wants to do with his car...it's HIS car..you see it as ridiculous, well that's awesome. Some people think outside of the box. Speaking of which, anyone have any pedders or MSRs for sale?

seeing some of these pics makes me really want to get coils and look into rotated mounts and speed bumps around where i live and drive are easily 3" tall and i've only ever scraped my exhaust once and that was on a exit from a parking lot that was way too steep for a truck let alone a car (and i'm already lowered on eibach pro kit and run 15's)

to the OP i actually liked the way your car sat already, i see no need to go with 16's
