What do you think?

How do you think the Borbet Ls's will look on a black 06 cobalt ss/sc? The corvette has a special accesory wheel that looks exactly like these as well.



These are the corvette accesory wheels

I think the stock wheels on the SS/SC look better than the ones you posted, but the Corvette rims eclipse both of them.

They might look nice. They look good on the vette.

Yea i like the look with alot of spokes its not like those spacy wheels that show everything. It would be a different thing to sport wheels that are spacey if we had them brembos tho lol

Any other opinions?

It really comes down to what you like, not what posters think. You're going to find too many varied opinions -- don't go with the consensus -- go with what you like.

If you want to see what aftermarket wheels look like on a Cobalt go to either tirerack.com or discounttire.com. Both sites have the ability to picture a Cobalt with the wheels they sell.

Look into customized wheels -- as in having a one-off design made. I think they're only about $2K per rim.
