Infinity has gotta pick some rims, wanna help?
*EDIT*
If you vote pick something else, leave a damn suggestion please! There are literally thousands of wheels out there to choose from and if you don't like my choices that means you like some other style.
*END EDIT*
Well boys and girls, I got pretty much my whole list done for the things I'm going to do to my car when I get back stateside. The only thing left to do is pick out some rims. My car is Sport Red. I prefer polished, chrome, or black chrome (sometimes called hyper black) rims. Five spoke is also a favored design.
Here is a quick list of the ones I'm looking at, though any other options would be helpful. I'm looking to stay on 18" rims and roll on Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 rubber.
Centerline Storm - Hi-Polish, Mirror Finish (High strength forged wheels, 17lbs)
Centerline Viking - Hi-Plish, Mirror Finish (High strength forged wheels, 17lbs)
Kyowa KR 228 - Hyper Black or Silver (17.7lbs)
AT Italia Nido Super Polished
O.Z. Ultraleggera Bright Silver Paint (18.8lbs)

Yea, I like the Ultralegueras to. Except for the fact that two of them cost as much as 4 or 5 of the other rims on the list and I think their close to the heaviest at 18.8lbs each. (AT Italia Nido might weigh more)

The Ultraleggara's should be some of the lightest on that list. 18.8lbs a piece will drop over 32lbs' total off your car. I've been saving up for the OZ's for a while now. I was hoping to be the first Cobalt with them. They're definately sweet rims bro...

Edubs, the storm are 17lbs each and the 228 are 17.7lb each. The viking I'm not exactly sure but I think are around 18lbs each. I know the Ultraleggara are 18.8lbs each, said that two post before yours. That just leaves the AT Italia Nido which might be heaver. I like light wheels. Part of while I like Centerline, their all forged lightweight wheels.
Oh, and the stockers are 23.8~23.9lbs each. So 20 to 20.5lbs saved with the Ultraleggara. And the Pilot Sport PS2s are about 5lbs less then the stock tires. So for example, if I go with the lightest rims (storm) and the PS2 wheels, I'll be saving about 47.5lbs of rolling weight over stock.

The other reason I like the Ultra's is that they're 18X8. I just noticed that the Storm's are 18X7...

Yea, I'm not sure how much the viking weigh. All I got to go off on them is that all Centerline wheels in their sport line are forged lightweight wheels. I can pickup the Storms for about $800 for the set. The Ultras I have seen for around $1400 for a set.
The pictures of the Centerlines don't do their finish justice. They are literally mirrors.

Gotta say I'm not a big fan of any of those they all look nice but I personally know I'm going for something more like the Foose designs.... Black high polished....

Toss up between the two Centerline's... my vote went to the Viking though.
I'm just not a fan of the typical fancy multispoke rims... keep it simple, keep it polished.
