i have stock 16's, but i think 17 or 18 looks a bit better, although 18 might be a little too large on some

 

lol wut

 

lol i figured that would confuse people.

like these...this is not my car btw


like i said, it sorta looks like a mini ss/tc wheel, i think at least lol.

 

bump

 

Yielded me slower times. I didn't feel like sitting there cooking the tires so I just dealt with quick spins to warm em up.

 

16's with a 225.50.16 look fine but you HAVE to be lowered.

The Cobalt is really a pretty large and bubbly little car, with big wheel openings, so it does like best with 17's in my mind. The diference between a 225/50/16 and a 225/45/17 is a half inch of sidewall, not really as dramatic as alot of people think. Not to mention that wheels are cheaper and lighter and that tires are cheaper.

 

I had 16's on the cavalier...



gots the 18's on the balt...

 

i'm so sorry but..

 

x2 lol

and in my opinion 16's are too small... but very smooth and lighter as compared to my 18's

 

so 16's are good?

 

Of course, theres nothing WRONG with them at all.....like I said wheels and tires are cheaper and the wheels will most likely be at least 3lbs each lighter than a comparable 17.

If you wanna run 16's, go for it! If I stick with my current wheel choice Ill be running 16s too because theres over a $600 price diference between 16 and 17 in the newest wheel I like.

 

so 16 = cheaper. good lol. what would be better preformance wise? 16 or 17

and then if 16s are lighter does the tire extra size just make up for that? the tires have to be some what bigger so it cant be just as light

 

He Means Post Pix People!!!

 

this is true

 

You have less rotational mass with 16s if you have same tire size as the 17(clearly not the last number but you get the picture). But if the 16s are heavier then you lose any purpose.

 

gotcha.

any one like these?

If you compare any two identical model tires and the only difference is that one is a 225.50.16 and the other is a 22.45.17 youll likely find that there is almost always less than a pound difference(the 16 will be lighter), the 17s have less sidewall, so the sidewall has to be stiffer, more material. Very little difference in weight between these two sizes. And if you go with the 205/55/16 size(stock 16 size) youll find the 16 is almost always 2-3lbs lighter than the 17 of the same model

 

what's so about that?

I paid $150 for the rims and tires together so I sported them

HAHA lol no thanks

 

16" HHR alloys wrapped in 205/60/16 michelin x-ice. for the cold weather only but the look is growing on me.

 

same. at first i though the tires would be too big for me butnow im liking it. and so is my wallet lol.

 

wheres ur antenna?

 

took it off and put a vacuum line cap over the top. Some of the more senior members here would call it the 'P7X' mod.



yeah man. this is my third season with this combo. I like it more and more every year. And hell yeah the price was right. I got all 4 rims as brand new take offs for $102.50 on Ebay. the tires were about 90 each.
