SS 18" wheel weight?
Does anybody happen to know what the stock Cobalt SS 18" wheels weigh? I'm just wondering how much performance there is to be gained by going with some light-wieght 17's. I'm thinking Kosei K1 Racing or SSR Comps (expensive!) in a 17x7.5, and some good 225 rubber. I don't have an SS yet... just speculating. IMHO the 18" rims and the huge wing should be optional.

The only problem is I don't think either of the two aforementioned wheels come in the right bolt pattern.

how much heavier is the tire going to be though? I am sure you can find ligher wheels then the stock ones yes, but I think going down in rim size isn't going to save as much as staying the same size, because to keep the same overall tire diamater, you will have to run tires with taller sidewalls on the 17's, which is going to add more weight at the worst spot, the farthest out. I think you would see the biggest gain going with lightweight 18's.
