Wheel Opinion

I know I don't have a Cobalt but I've seen Cavaliers on here before so here it goes. I found a set of O.Z. wheels on Tire Rack that I've become quite fond of, here is a link to the pics:

Also whats your opinions on these wheels, with an Eibach Sportline drop?

Can't find a good pic to post, it goes into a tile format, but the car is a uber-base model 03 Cavy, black. I'll try to take some better pics

Another Wheel...

I think I may have found another wheel to decide on, it's a 17 x 7 Tenzo wheel, here is a link to some pics... http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/roa...-10/index.html

What are your guys opinions concerning how a matte black wheel on a shiny black Cavy?
Also, will someone explain to me about offsets?

BUMP No opinions on these wheels? Which tires would you guys suggest putting on them? Also which Eibach spring set would you suggest, Sportlines or Pro? I plan on putting the 14" steelies back on in the winter and wanted opinions on clearance with the lowered car and the original wheels

LOL These rally jokes sure are funny!!!

Ok For real Now . Really this question is gonna be more about peoples opinions and we know what they say about those. I personally don't like either wheels they both have a ricer feel to them . 1st one was far better in my opinion though. and i've never been a fan of black wheels especially on black cars with black tires Way to Goth! But if you likem them thats all that matters and you will find others on here that like them as well.

I've been looking around for wheels to get a good all around example, as to make sure I have no doubts on what to get, and I've found another set, 17 x 7 Enkei's and there is a side shot (the best one I could find) of my car in my members gallery, and will any 17 x 7 fit, as in clearance of the suspension, if its lowered will it fit?

I'm having severe problems with the company I ordered my Enkei Evo 5's from. It is a placed called Edge Racing www.edgeracing.com. They haven't contacted me once, I've tried calling them 6 times and can never get through. Just wanted to know if anybody else has ordered from them and had problems
