Saab Wheels

has anyone used wheels off of a saab on there cobalt? Ive been looking around for wheels in the 5x110 bolt pattern and sticking to the 17x7 size so i can stay in the stock class for when i auto-x. im looking for a inexpensive preferably light weight wheel so i can get a 3 season summer tire on them and then get a snow tire on my stock wheels. i found for the most part that either the wheels i found werent much lighter then stock and were fairly expensive if they were. anyways i found a wheel from the newer (05-07) saab 93 that looks simmilar to the 18's off of the ss/tc. however i havent found any information on weight.

heres a link to the wheel im talking about let me know what you all think

My wheels are from a Saab Viggen and they are 17x7.5 with a 42 offset. Found them on craigslist for $200 with tires. I don't know what they weigh without the tires.

yeah i would like to stick to the 17x7 width, and as far as weight is concerned they have to be lighter then the stock 2.4 ss wheels. the main thing is there a nice looking wheel and if i can find them used like off craigslist they should be fairly inexpensive.

I've got http://example.org]saab wheels cobalt on ebay just last week for only 150 bucks. It's quite smaller and lighter than the standard one and I assumed it's durable enough to last for long. For anybody else here looking for wheels, I recommend visiting ebay. There are a lot there.
