Light weight 16" wheels SS/SC

I did a search and couldn't find any info on this. I am looking for a 16 inch wheel for the track to throw some drag radials or slicks on. If I am not mistaken I believe the bolt pattern is 5x120. Any info would be great, thanks.

If your looking for wheels, i suggest the setup i used, i used 16inch sport edition's with a nitto nt555r drag-radial, i think i got them off wheelsnext.com but when you search search for saturn l300 because they have the same bolt pattern

Some, but not all, are the same. If it's an 07 with 5 lugs, they'll fit, but most base model 07s are still 5x110.

huh??

the 05 & 06 LS/LT are the 4x100, then they changed all of them to 5x110 in '07..
there may be some '07 LS/LT w/ the 4x100 pattern b/c GM probably used up the last of the 4x100 in the first months of '07 production. much like the headlights, some '07's having the orange circle and some not...

Yea I have just been looking under the 07 base models and found some. I can't really find really light ones. The lightest I can find are 17.5 lbs. I want to at least go down to 15 lbs at the heaviest. As far as drag radials go the only ones I can find seem to pretty wide. I only found 245/50/16" Nitto and 255/50/16" BFG's. Can anyone recommend a better size or brand? I was looking for a 225/50/16" but no luck sofar.

My understanding of it was that the "sport" packages and upper-teir LT packages got 5x110, the bare-bones LS and some of the lower LT models got 4x100. I'm sure by next year they'll all be 5x110.
