Default Pic Request: Cobalt with Carrera Sport wheel

I'm trying to finalize on order. Anybody seen or have pictures of a Cobalt car with the XRR/Carrera Sport wheels?

Thanks ahead of time,
Matt

PS: I did the search thing already

I'm hoping the Blue Zoomer will show for you. I do not know of a Cobalt with the XRRs.

Here's Cobolt on the new 997TT. Maybe close your eyes and imagine the Cobolt with the xrr's.

Nice car Toomey. How many miles you got on her now??

I may have to enlist one of this sites many Photochop gurus for help. I suspect this will be rare find as there are not that many Cobalt cars running around (except Aerosmith's). Which brings up another thought, I wonder what Cobalt blue painted carrera sport wheels would look like on a Cobalt car?

Maybe a 997 version of this:

Really nice color. Like many of the Porsche metallics The Cobalt Blue Metallic always seems to change with the light. I have no regrets. Sorry about not having the wheels you asked for. I actually tried to get the Carrera Sports but it would have jeopardized my X51 order and my early receipt of the X51(October 11, 2005).

Thanks all for the pics!

Still can't make up my mind. I went down to Braman yesterday to show my wife a couple of things and unfortunately they did not have any cars on the lot with the Carerra Sport wheels. It will come down to the carrera classics vs the carrera sports. It looks like I will be waiting for a '07 so I have some time to make up my mind.

Aerosmith: Absolutely love your car! I think I was as anxious as you when you where waiting for delivery. I checked the fourm multiple times a day waiting for the pictures. Cobalt has always been choice for the next Porsche and secretly I've always hoped that when the new GT3 came out, you would get a bad case of 'ungradeitis', leaving the door open for me to take that car off your hands.

One other question for a fellow Floridian: I will be driving my car on a daily basis, have you had any problems with traction in your C2S during the torrential rainstorms we get. I never had thought of considering a C4S until I was driving back from Braman last night on the Turnpike in one of those rainstorms.

Thanks again for the help,
Matt
