17x7.5 price on tirerack.com is 195 each but I get 40% discount at a local rim shop so about 400 in total

and the chrome plated ones weigh 24lbs

I also like these AT Italia Inox

AGREED, the second pair looks better. They look like my stock SS SC's kinda. But who cares what I/WE think, get what you like. But if you get 40% discount. Get some baller ass expensive rims nobody has cause they too BAD! Instead of wasting 400 hundo on AR wheels.

17"s look tiny on Cobalts IMO, but those wheels in an 18"-19" size would look great!

American racing has all kind of balancing issues because they are cheaply made! Like I said before they are POOP and I wouldn't put them on my worst enemy's car let alone mine!

How much weight did they take? When I was bustin tires it wasn't unusual for American Racing wheels to take 2-3 ounces on each side of the rim to balance em. That's 5-6 ounces of weight per wheel.

I think these look better and I have heard some bad things about American Racing wheels so I would stay clear of that brand.
