I've been looking at wheels lately and I'm looking for 17x11's all around. You can find them just under 20lbs per rim. With the tires, you could be the same weight as your 15x10 Prostars W/275-50-15 MT Streets at 35lbs. Those 18x9.5 C5s w/285-40-18 at 50lbs are just plain heavy. You might have some issues with unsprung weight. I'll probably be using a Ford 9" down the road (forgive the pun) and I need to lose unsprung weight, not double it. I'm sure those C5's look great, but looks vs performance is like lowriders vs drag cars. Don't make the bad choice because there is no reason to look stoopid (or phat).
