I'm thinking much less than stock, we gotta drop pounds off our girls for the show....right?

BTW...what do the stock GS rims weigh?

Here is the thing, if you want really light wheels. I think one of the lighter ones are the forged l-sportline wheels. But i think they are really really expensive. If you want light, get forged but it'll cost you an arm and a leg. Hope this helps.

but even if they're forged, will 19s be lighter than stock 16s?

Default Lightest rims

The OZ Superleggera's and SSR Integrals are extremely light wheels, I think 18 or 19 pounds each. OZ normally makes a very strong rim, but I can't say for sure about the strength of the SSR's.

Default Thanks guys...

anyone have any pricing? How about the weight of the stock wheels vs aftermarket? Thanks for the info, the GS I testdrove felt extremely heavy, man those 300 horses don't mess around, they work their asses off.
