kyowa racing makes the kr 206 which weigh 19 lbs and the kr 228 which are 17 lbs.

you can find both on victoriatire.com they have more designs too but they do not fit the car.

If you were in the rota group buy, you would be getting sub 17lb wheels.

motegi tracklites are good. I had a set of 17's on my talon/eclipse. 17lbs each. Rays GramLights are really good if you can afford them lol. Enkei and Konig make some light wheels.

Man do I feel your pain on that. I really want a 18X8 wheel that's lightweight and the only one I can find that I would even consider costs a ton...OZ Ultraleggara (18.8 lbs)

Even with those I still can't make up my mind if it'll look decent on a Cobalt...

not to mention the price. BlilBT momo wheels are pretty good looking and light but hella expensive, even though a few ppl got a good deal on them.
