So I have been searching the forum, have only found 2 sites - www.wheeldude.com which has very limited selection and www.wheelsnext.com which does have some more. Any other options out there? I am looking to purchase a set of rims and summer tires as a package if possible. From Canada so I am using the stock rims for winter tires.

Welcome to the thorn in our hip, lol.

I would go custom 3 piece forged as your options are nearly limitless, but reading these are just seasonal, you can have at it with wheeldude as many has attested they work great.

I was about to get an extra set of OEM wheels chromed when wheeldude posted up pics of the Linea Corse LC855s in staggered size 8.5x19" fronts and 10x19" rears. I sold the OEM rims (breaking even on the deal) and bought the LC855s. It's actually cheaper going this route than the chroming project (~$1.7k vs $1.3k) and MUCH cheaper than some of the 3-piece setups. And best of all? I can't wait to get them on my car.

Well... Welcome to the crowd! Wheels for our odd ballbolt pattern and lack of serious lip we can run on our cars makes rim selection so important to make it look right... Myself, I decided to go the not so cheap route and have custom set of of alloys made by BOZE. They are right at $3,300 but I m getting exactly what I want Polished center and outer along with ceramic clear coated to protect the finish I'm also having the center caps custom engraved and painted . I went with 20" 8.5 and 10" staggered Velocity wheels. I'm really looking forward to getting them in about 4 weeks! Just all depends on how much you want to spend I guess!

Anyone know roughly how the wheeldude rims compare to the stock rims in regards to weight? My last car I put Boss motorsport rims on which looked great but were heavy.

The Rota Torques are about the same weight as the optional GM Accessory wheels (~22#), which are supposed to be 2-3# lighter than the stock wheels.

I also have the Linea Corse Venetos in 19x8.5/10". I know I weighed them when I got them, but can't remember the numbers off the top of my head. With tires mounted (245/40-19 front and 275/35-19 rear) as I recall the weights were within a couple/few pounds of my 18" setup. I wouldn't be surprised if my 19" setup is actually lighter than the stock wheels + the heavy stock run-flats.

Thanks for the response. I heard back from wheeldude.com today and they have no 18 inch in stock, almost sounded like they were done with those and only going with the 19 inch now. Too bad as the 18 inch were substantially less money. I have a couple of local dealers that are looking for me as well, see what happens... might have to go up to 19 inches.
