How much are you willing to pay? How light do you want to go?
I'm sure you could get blanked rims and then have someone drill the bolt pattern for the Alero. Again, it comes down to how much you want to spend.

Motegi Traklite lightweight wheels would be the way to go, but they're $250-350 per wheel.

not exactly cheap, though they're far from the most expensive

Sure am. You probably had a good 800 lbs on your way back from Lansing with all those quarters I gave you, so you know how it feels.  |

yeah depends on your definition of cheap, the motegis are nice but pretty sure they didn't have a fitment at the time that I liked......
i picked these up through tire rack for like $750 for all 4 shipped to my house if I remember correctly, they are a 17x8 and are pretty light at 15.9lbs a piece...

Buddy Racing. P2 series.
Not exactly cheap.
Scratch that. Unless you going pro. don't get these. They don't even make them unless there a GB of 10 or more. Last GB was a group out of FL on WRXs.

I guess my 18 lbs a piece rims are considered heavy now 
I do like all the rims posted in this thread. Look pretty good for lightweight

I just looked...They used to be $220 a piece for 18's at 17.5lbs a piece. Now 5Zigen came out with an "updated" design for them, even though they're pretty close to identical, and they're $280 for 18x7.5 or $340 for 18x8.5. I was looking at maybe getting them in 18x8.5 with 255/35-18 tires, but now that the prices went up, I may just get the 18x7.5, stick with 225/40-18's and get some good sticky tires.

I'm going to get them in silver, have them powdercoated gunmetal and keeping the polished silver lip.

I have no idea on the weight of them, but here's a link to someone selling a set of Work Esperio 02R (or RH evo C6, same thing) in 19x8.5 (basically, the OSV wheel) for $600 in NY.
