I was just looking at the Kosei K3's on Tire Rack...the 18's are pretty light at 19lbs. a piece. Those may be a very good possibility.

imnot sure why mfuller picked his wheels, but i would guess they were for the same reason you are, although he likes to turn and slam on the brakes alot..lol. for performance wheels with race car looks, kosei and wedsport are it. i love the way the lug area is inset, making the rim look very deep and wide

I have Kosei K1 wheels, and they weigh 16lbs a piece - that's for 17x7.5".
To answer jturkey's question, I got 'em because they are light, strong, and relatively cheap ($239 per wheel). Also, because no other Alero has 'em.
They were also drilled specifically to fit the Alero, so no hub-centric rings or special lug nuts are needed.
Rule of thumb for a lightweight wheel is 1 lb. per inch of diameter.

Just as a reference, anyone know the widest wheel and/or lowest offest that will fit on an Alero without modification?

Well, I have only gone up to a 8" wide, +35mm offset wheel. It was close at full steering lock.

The Tire Rack.
Ordered as blanks and then drilled (centerbore and lug holes) for my application.

It was several years ago....I was still running 17x8" Konig Tantrums (there is a good picture floating around somewhere) with 225/45R17 Bridgestone RE730 tires.
