well me being impatient went and got the rims mounted while my girl was at work. i must say i like how they look... just need to put the sportlines on now. i can feel a noticeable difference in acceleration and braking with the difference in weight too.

Nice wheels. Thanks for posting pics. Since I'm having a hard time finding something differant in 18 inch wheels that are light weight I just may have to get a set. They look great, now do I get hyper black, black, or gunmetal....

Your gonna put 20's on the LS. That should look pretty sick, glad to see the cobalt are coming along well in the aftermarket industry.

where did you get the weight of these wheels? Is it listed somewhere online or did you weigh them yourself? they seem really light! They look great!
