suspension mods
ok i've decided to get my ssm sfc's along with a wonder bar and some other upgrades
can anyone recommend a light 17in wheel that looks decent and has a wide variety of width's (i'm looking for 17x9's(frnt) and 17X11 (rear) but i'm not very picky. oh yeah in the 250-650ea range.
p.s. how are vette rims? heavy? light? good?

all of the stock castings that gm used were pretty heavy. i had 17x9 ss wheels on my car for a while and with tires they weighed 52lbs each. roh has a good variety of wheels that will fit and the price isn't too bad either. you have a good price range to work in though, for less than 650 per wheel you could get a custom set of monocoque's, complete custom, or forge line wheels. all make 3 piece very strong very light wheels.
