I have gunmetal 18" cobalt ss wheels on my malibu. I will try to post pics tonight after work. I don't think I can do an attachment from my droid.

I tried one of the wheels from a newer turbocharged cobalt ss and liked how they look, but the sidewall was to small. Impala wheels won't fit since they are a 5x115 bolt pattern and the malibu is a 5x110 bolt pattern. Here are the factory 18's for the LTZ.

I have 18" Chrome-techs that I think look fantastic. They were an option in 09, but they're standard on 2LT for 2011.

Yes, I got the 18" on my '09 too. I like them a lot on my Silver.
They are standard on the 2LT for 2011, but they're 17" Doesn't look like you can get that wheel in 18" for 2011. Also, the 17" is a 5 spoke, but it's a different design.

The Chrome Techs are standard on 2LT in both 17" and 18" depending on the engine choice. The picture of the wheel that I posted above is the 18" as shown on chevrolet.com. The 17" was also pictured separately.

Chrome rims on a malibu just looks too cheesy IMO. I would stick to brushed aluminum.
Chrome plated ;)
