trouble finding wheels

Hey I have searched a lot for wheels. I am looking for forged alluminum wheels. Will 18" x 9" fit without problems? if not then will 18 x 8?

any brand names or links would be appreciated. I found some BBS wheels I really like but they are only 7" wide. I like 5-spokes and this type of design.......

I need some pretty wide tires for good traction. The minimum I would go is like 17 x 8 but prefer 18 x 9

I am going to be buying the SSBC 12" brake kits front and back for my cobalt (I have drums in the rear right now) and I dont have ABS so I need some rubber on the road.

Hmmmm....don't know about how they are made but if I remember correctly they are like 16 or so pounds. Maybe 18. *shrug* Sorry bud can't recall.

And you like these types?




I almost got the silver ones for my car.
