    i dont like it. to much polish wheel and to much white car. they just dont work. if the spokes was white and it had a polished lip i could see what might work.

    You dropped it and put wheels on it.....

    Congratulations. When you do that, you too can be a part of the growing cancer upon the aftermarket industry called "Clean".

    And they say you can't polish turds. You might not be able too, but you sure can "Clean" em up.

    white with gold wheels is played out imo. I'm not saying that it doesn't look good. I'd go polished.

    Just going to throw this out there... But Z06 wheels aren't 4-lug?

    Unless he's going to swap to 5-lug...which I doubt, or even know is possible for Cobalts, he wont be doing z06 wheels.

    A hub swap is easily done on cobalts.
    Is it practical? No there are plenty of 4 lug wheels out there.
    We were just throwing it out there that z06 wheels would look nice. Now its just a matter of oppinion on whether or not z06 5 lugs is worth it with hub swaps. I say it is.

    I love these cars, just great dailys. It would look great as you got it photo shopped, but it is a daily. But I don't really know rims all that well, but the gold ones you got look great, chrome does to. But I would be more worried about the drop first. You seem to be on a great path.
