OK some of you know about this already. I have a set of 17" Rota's right now but I couldn't get them on the car. I was driving myself insane because I wanted rims on the car because one of the factory rims is bent and is starting to lose air. Plus my tires are shot.

I finally nailed the problem: The offset on the Rota's is 45. So I bought these just now and can't wait to get them. It's a set of Kazera KZ-V's. 17x7 same size as the Rotas ( I already have tires on the Rotas ) The offset is right, 40, and the price isn't too bad either. Plus they are lightweight!!! :D I always wanted lightweight rims. I hope to have them on soon :D

I will be selling the Rota's soon. I know they will fit a Cavalier. I had them on a Cav before. If I can find a pic of the Cav I will post it.

Those new ones are the ones I was looking to get this spring. I think they will look pretty good!

Those are one of my choices. I'm lookin for rims now. If you don't mind, where did you get them, and how much?

tirerack.com and they were 546 shipped. (129 a piece) for the 17"

Of course there are 3 different finishes, Chrome plated, Silver w/ machined lip (which I bought) and Light Grey.

There are other Kazera on there. I was going to buy the "S" which is a 9 spoke but it had all those ugly bolts along the outter wall of the rim.

I think the "V", which is the one I bought, looks the best on the Alero.

Yea, I liked the V the best. Tires are my downfall. I need tires that will do me good on the track, which means they will probably cost more than the damn wheels!!
