keep in mind that most wheels will not clear the brake on our cars. You will have to have the proper backspacing and offset.

And i doubt you wheels even weigh more than 30 lbs actually

bogarts and holeshot are the only light wieght that bolt on (longer studs needed for rear) with out too much modification. however they are far from cheap

Those Jegs wheels are a good alternative to the Bogarts, if you don't want to spend the extra $$$. From what I've heard they bolt right on and require no modification. They have a big thread about them over on the S197 forum if you're interested.
