I am torn with big wheels. On some cars they look good, on others horrible. I went with 20's since to ME anything larger just doesn't fit the image of the car. Also, while I was able to get 20's that weigh actually less then the factory 18's, that is 100% impossible with 22's. And once you add chrome plating to those 22's they will be super heavy and effect acceleration, handling and braking. But remember, it is your car. You can do what YOU like.
I ave faith to but you are comparing v6-v8 trucks and SUV's to a 4 banger car. The tranny and engine are the same used in the cobalt and are just not up to par with the other lines that GM makes. If not abused this car should last 300k and I hope you do not run into problems down the road. I am just giving you a heads up that it could be an issue in the long run.i think a lot of people underestimate the parts themselves....
the shifting is exactly the same and doesnt seem like it stresses at alll
I mean i might just have a lot of faith in GMC/Chevy but i mean i had really oversized rims on my yukon and my blazer before that and never had any tranny probs knock on wood lol
I am one for more power! Ha, remember Tim Allen....On a side note they really need to step this car up with a supercharged model or a v8 model
21's are an odd size. You will have to go 19, 20 or 22 most likely. And you will lose some ride quality with 22's for sure. But the small sidewalls will gain you some handling advantages. But the extra weight might negate that unless you find lightweight 22's.I want some chrome 22s btw and I know the weight will be pretty heavy, but I don't want to run into problems down the road, maybe ill look into 21s as an alternative but hows the ride with the 22s? notice any loss in accleration or delayed braking etc.? I wish brembo made a brake kit for our malibus
yea i didnt think about the chrome weight
My ride is surprisingly very good =) People who also ride in the car don't feel like i have rims on at all eitherI want some chrome 22s btw and I know the weight will be pretty heavy, but I don't want to run into problems down the road, maybe ill look into 21s as an alternative but hows the ride with the 22s? notice any loss in accleration or delayed braking etc.?

Yours only have those chrome strips from what I can see, so that weighs ALOT less then a fully chrome plated wheel. I'm sure the wheels are still pretty heavy though. But them not being chrome helps alot for sure.
Sweet i accidently did something right lol
Contrary to popular belief chrome plate is a non factor in wheel weight it's more the wheel itself, plating wheels will only add a miniscule amount of weight, driving thru Mickey D's for a Big mac would have more effectI want some chrome 22s btw and I know the weight will be pretty heavy, but I don't want to run into problems down the road, maybe ill look into 21s as an alternative but hows the ride with the 22s? notice any loss in accleration or delayed braking etc.?
