wheels? springs?

i have an 05 burnt orange ss/sc and im looking to get new wheels im thinking 18'X 8 or 18' X 8.5 or 19'X8 or 19'X 8.5. becaause i want to give my car an aggressive looking stance now my question is if it is even a good idea to put 19's on my cobalt and how much would it affect the performance..... if i decide to go with 18's i might want to put the eibach springs to go along with it but i would not do this if i had 19's. so my other question is it worth it ti even put these springs on my car... do they improve the cobalts handeling over the stock suspension....

if you want performance, get lightweight 17's, not 19's. and the springs greatly improve handling. it's a whole new car afterwards.

Spring improve handling dramatically. If you want to put 19's you can, they will fit. as for performance... I guess it depends on the weight.

Welcome...


... and BTW the color is Sunburst Orange... not burnt orange.

I just purchased 18x7.5 rims with a 225 tire. Def get the sportlines, you will not be disappointed.
