Hey everyone. I was a member here way back but haven't posted in years so had to create a new account. I'm
on my second cobalt, a 2010 2DR BLK XFE. I am about to roll over 200,000 miles. The car is strictly a work car as I work rural healthcare on some very rough roads.

My car has the base 15 in steel wheels. Over the years, the wheels have slowly become warped on the rough roads, to the point where I need new wheels.

So here's what I'm wanting to know: I really want some lighter wheels.. I'm
Also not against a slightly narrower wheel. If I have to get new ones might as well get something a little lighter with lower rolling resistance. I've searched but just haven't come up with much... Can anyone help me out?

So you are putting 40k on it a year. Rural Rough roads.

I'd find about a 15" wheel and get a tire with a nice tall sidewall to handle the impact.

Get another set of steelies, put some taller than stock tires on and replace your suspension so it can handle the abuse again

This.

Your suspension is probably shot and thats just gonna cause cupping on your new tires. There is alot of room in that wheel well, especially on 15's, so you can def up the tire size.
