What do you guys think for wheels?

Hey guys just wondering what you think of these rims ive been thinking about getting them, but want some opinions. They are American racing slit wheels and will be 18x7.5 with 45mm offset so they will fit fine its just looks wise on my 06 Cobalt SS/SC.

Funny you say that because thats my other choice its just so many people have them and for some reason the 18's look small on our cars but the 19's look amazing (rangerondubz) but im looking to keep it 18's.

But someone will get rims and put them on their car...$400-$500 is still cheaper than $1000-$1200 for a nice set of rims and some kickass tires

Hmm...I was going to get those. They are called American Racing Split, not slit i dont know if you just mis-typed it. I believe i saw them on ebay for around $600

These look just like them , im not sure if they are exact as i found the picture but they look like it
