November 1, 200619 yr Looks good, wanna race? Are you going to submit this for the calendar? I think you should...
November 1, 200619 yr Are you going to submit this for the calendar? I think you should... 211339[/snapback] I was thinking of that too. Get an awesome shot with some good lighting, and you may make the calender!
November 2, 200619 yr Those wheels though. Ugh what was Chevrolet thinking?Either they were trying to annoy you specifically... or they merely wanted to offer a wheel that was better looking than these awful rims:
November 2, 200619 yr Balthazar, you're crazy. Thin-spoked rims will always be sexier than thick-spoked rims.
November 2, 200619 yr Balthazar, you're crazy. Thin-spoked rims will always be sexier than thick-spoked rims. 211461[/snapback] I don't know, those RSX wheels are pretty blah. The Cobalt's are as well, though.
November 2, 200619 yr Balthazar, you're crazy. Thin-spoked rims will always be sexier than thick-spoked rims.Funny how opinions work, eh?Seriously, I've never cared for the spindy-spoke rim look, esp those where the spokes get narrower towards the outside. They look weak & dainty/effeminate & expose too much of the brakes. Maybe on an exotic with big rims and big expensive brakes, but it's posing on a FWD econobox, IMO. The Cobalt's are a bit flat, but I prefer them proportion-wise over the needle-thin spokes on the acura.

November 2, 200619 yr Love the red calipers, and the sexy car they're attached to. Where in NY are you from?
November 3, 200619 yr Those wheels though. Ugh what was Chevrolet thinking?Either they were trying to annoy you specifically... or they merely wanted to offer a wheel that was better looking than these awful rims: 211446[/snapback] I'm not a fan of those rims too much, but I do like them better than the Cobalt's. The Cobalt's are just too flat, boring, and chrome, for my liking.
November 3, 200619 yr Actually the ones on the SS/SC aren't chrome - they're a gunmetal finish. The Cobalt SS with the 2.4L has the polished chrome wheels.
November 3, 200619 yr I can't put my finger on it, but that marina looks awfully familiar. Where in NY are you?
November 5, 200619 yr The color of the SS wheels doesn't really come across well in those pics. In person, the effect is much more pronounced and looks great with that blue. I love gunmetal/black chrome finishes on wheels.
November 5, 200619 yr That is one hot and blue baby you got there, ChevyGuy. I too love the dark wheels on the SS/SC. For '07, you can get the polished version of the 18" rim on the SS/SC. To tell the truth, I think I prefer the darker version.

I love gunmetal/black chrome finishes on wheels. 212107[/snapback] My wheels are much lighter than other SS/SC wheels i have seen....I think i have some of the most lightest color SS/SC wheels in the US.
November 6, 200619 yr ChevyGuy, how has the car been for you? Is it still tight? Any squeaks or rattles? Warranty issues?
November 6, 200619 yr I love those wheels... same as I love the wheels on the late 90s MB AMGs & the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45t.
December 24, 200619 yr What a beautiful baby. I absolutely love that colour. It's wonderful, if only there were a green similar to that for me. :AH-HA_wink:
December 25, 200619 yr If you live in Rochester, I think I may have seen your car at a show, if you ever put it in one, did you?... the show I was at was huge and was held at a restaurant (forgot the name) and it was during August

December 26, 200619 yr Talk about an overly large antenna... someone needs to order this Cobalt a stubby!!!
December 26, 200619 yr I love those rims, they look substantial, beefy and elegantly simplsitic. Rims are suposed to add to a car's good looks not take away from them via distraction. I agree about the spindly comment by balthazar. We've all got our tastes btu those Acura rims are godawful from even a practical standpoint: cleaning them must me fun with all those nooks & cranies... no thanks if you as me. Oh... & the Cobalt's a better looking car than the Honda RSX anyday!
