    anybody know the weight of these? id rather have the 20's but evidently theyre not made anymore?? if so, anybody know where i can score a set? my main concern is degredation of performance in going from the stockers to 22" vipers.

    Bro, I don't know the exact weight, but many knowledgeable folks here in SD have told others considering the same thing as you, to not do it because they're so heavy.

    Even if they were light, the larger wheel size would impact your performance... or so I believe.

    Probably more important is the effect these would have on you overall gear ratio. You're working with a 3.06 as it is.

    dude...i just remembered...i know someone selling a BRAND NEW set of stockers if you want them....

    some guy came in said he didnt want them for his car...put 22's on the car before he left the lot....

    if you want me to hook you up with the guy let me know brudda

    I know they arent aftermarket...but at least you can start over with nice new wheels lol
