These rims will be on order in just a few days when my check comes in. I will be getting them in 17" rims. I have 205/55/16's now. I would like to go 205/45/17. People are telling me maybe even go 18's, but I dont want to lose performance on the car. Specially for Autocross (I cant afford 2 sets of rims right now). I think it will go great with the look of the car.
Here's the rims.
I will also be ordering Coilovers and slotted/cross drilled rotors. (No big brake kit yet i'm too poor)
EDIT: Oh yea to finish off the look of the car I will be going with a CF hood and a drift body kit. I'm taking the rear deck wing off and leaving it plain. I'm also going to shave and fill in the side molding. After that its all performance mods. I'm picking up a car in a few months when I say up another 600 thats an eclipse GST that had been wrecked. Full turbo and motor in perfect running shape though.
i dont like those rims really
but if you do then get them
A lot of people dont, but I really like them and they complete the look i'm going for.
idk...id leave the spoiler...it completes the look on the ass end of our cars. ive got a red TSI, mines a 94 though...im not ganna let a body kit touch my car though...i know a kid around here whos got a drift on his car and it looks like @!#$, way to friggin ricey. mines mostly performance though. i do have a C.F hood though, and Enkie Shogun 17's, HID headlights...
lol, 4th, oh well, im working on it.

That was the same exact thread I was thinking about when I read this. They are going to look small on the car but they will flow better with yours than his I think.
Have a good one,

they r nice rims but if ur going to Autocross u dont want 17s or a body kit, just stick with the 16s u have and put some sticky ass tires on em and keep doing more performance.

I'm going to put some tires on my 16's for autocross. As far as the kit that will be probably last to do, but I really like the kit a lot.

comming from the single 26 year old guy with no car!
oh and guy ive put close to 2k into a car that i only paid 2.5k for.but its useless and unreliable, wana race me?? go barrow someones car and bring money.
Before I stand corrected I meant "J-body website" sorry for leaving out the sunfire love =P
I think your car will turn out nice, but i wouldnt put a kit on it....just my opinion though.....
and for ppl that think its totally worthless to put money into a car that is $500......I guess you all think hot rods and muscle cars are a bad investment too...............
muscle car cars are differant, hes putting tons of money into a peice of crap
Your fighting a losing battle. Give up. You suck at life you suck at cars. Obviously you suck with women because your still single. You ride the damn bus. So give it up already.
HE's spending HIS money that HE worked for on things that HE wants. You don't know him, his financal situation, or anything about him. No matter how much you argue over it your opinion means jack @!#$.
btw, drop a boosted DSM motor in that thing and say its a piece
2006 Cobalt SS 2.4L 9.6 @74mph 1/8th mile w/2.28 60ft
Please take a look a Smith Wheels befor you deside. They make some really georgeous stuff.
As a fellow DSM owner I should point out that unless you are in the 7s you should remove your claim of being the world's fastest talon. The current fastest Talon runs a 7.8 in the outlaw class. The next fastest (non-outlaw) runs an 8.7 and is street driven.
You need to be very fast to make that claim.
Good luck, I hope you love the car.
