I have been looking into some new rims and have realized that by going down to 17's I can save weight and rotational mass. For instance OZ Racing has a rim that is 17.8 pounds at 18 inches and that same rim at 17 inches is 16.2 pounds. Makes our 24 pound stock rims seem heavy. The actual main concern I have is how does 17 inch rims look on the SS/SC cobalt?

 

17s will look like the 2.4ss's.....18s will look like the 2.0ss's....

i really don't think 1.6lbs is going to be worth you sweating over it. just get some damn wheels.

 

LOL!!! Yeah. Just waiting for current tires to go bald.

 

agreed.

 

17s don't look bad. It's all in personal preference. I think 18s are a rediculous stock size on the SS/SC when it doesn't need the size for clearance.

Eh. 6.5 lbs of unsprung weight believe it or not is a noticeable difference.

 

If you care about being fast, get 17s

If you care about the way they look get 18s

If you care about both, get ultraleggaras

 

winner winner chicken dinner

 

i didn't say 6.5 now did i?
