more than it's worth for a street car...check the corral or other places like e-bay for a used one....might get lucky at craigslist in your area
anytime you reduce rotating mass is a great thing....hell with some wheels you can save 75 pounds of unsprung wt.

wow, there is so much bad info on here...
The reason you have a vibration is because you have something worn out in your driveline. Not because your driveshaft is making .65 more turns (assuming you went from 3.08:1 to a 3.73:1 ratio) per one wheel rev. I bought an aluminum driveshaft simply because I wanted one, not to fix a vibration. If you want to fix your vibration, start with trans mount, tail bushing, yoke, u-joints, and rear bushings. I guarantee you will fix the problem that way. But The whole aluminum dampens vibration better and you just dont feel it as much, holy crap I almost fell out of my chair. If you dont have factual information, dont speak
