Lightest wheel that clears the brembos for the SS/SC?

I've did a search here but couldn't find anything conclusive. Does anyone know what the lightest wheel that will clear the brembos brakes?

Look at some of the custom wheel companies as well. Forgestar and work both custom drill wheels, and they're lightweight.

Enkei PF01's they are like 18 ea, not sure on works and all that. just know what i've been looking at. but 1200 for a set is rough, i'm sure the custom works and such are 2k or more.

The oz are the best replacement wheels for the cobalt IMO

Anything cheaper is probably worse than stock..

i have them and they fit np there a great track wheels for the price and 18x8 with a 235/40/18 is a great tire size especially with pedders youll have no rubbing and they weight 18.8lbs a piece they currently make them in silver and black and run about yea $1300 a set cheaper than the oz

if your willing to run adapters, or hub swap, etc. rpf1's are always a good choice if your looking for light weight wheels!
