Nice !! Really hope they keep this bolt patern. My wheels on my Corolla ( check my avatar ) was specialy made for Toyota's. A collaboration between C-ONE and Weds Sports. Don't know if 16" inch wheels will fit.

If those BBS wheels where +48 offset, imagine the look of my wheels. They are a little bit less wide through. 16X7 +33.

CH-R's look amazing when running very wide wheels, but if you're looking at non-hellaflush/stance sizes (18x8.5) then the wheels look very meh. Spokes are stubby unless you get 19". Plus they're not that light considering it's BBS.

For sheer looks, I'd get the Miro Type 111. Similar design to CH-Rs, prettier.

Haha. I use to drive hard with my CEs

No point babying em.

Also you will feel the difference right off the bat. OEM wheels weight in at around 25lbs each compared to 16lbs each. Better accel, braking etc.

This made it laughably sideways in second gear, the back end stepping out with relatively mild – and sometimes almost no – provocation. For the average driver, this makes exploring the limits far easier than in anything else currently on sale.

Come on now, you know half the people talking about wheels here want deep dish wheels and streched tires. I doubt many people even know what width wheel is spec'd as appropriate for a specific tire. People pick wheels on looks then do whatever to the tires to make it work.

You guys can't complain about finding wheels that look good until you have tried finding 5x110... yea that isn't a typo... 5x110 on my cobalt SS, with saab running gear or some shit. 5x100 or 114 is easy money baby... Going to get me some Gramm Lights

beat ya to it btw you gonna keep the cobalt and use the ft86 as a dd or are you trading up?
