Default SS Wheels fit my Avv?

Will Silvy SS wheels fit on my 04 Avv? Looking for lighter alternatives to my AMR (and most aftermarkets), and OEM are typically the lightest. Seems that unless I'm willing to spend >$1000 per wheel, thats the best alternative...R/

Ya got the 10 bolt, but blew up the G-80 on the ride home from the shop the nite I picked it up! Has an Auburn Gear in it now...its a work in progress at this point. I really wanna get those hunks of lead off the corners (I think the AMR RTS' with the 305's are at least 70-80lbs each!). Brakes are on the current list, and playing with a 2/4 drop, but worried about the change that makes in the drive line angle @ the diff. Thnx guys!

I thought that the SS wheels were kinda heavy, but I could be wrong. I know that my Gibb's 20's are heavy as ****, especially with 285/50's mounted to them...they look damn good though

Well if you put a 9.5" 14-bolt in at the same time, you can put the pinion angle wherever you want.

SS wheels are heavy....I noticed my truck get more sluggish after tossing them on with 295/50's. My little 4.3 needs all the help it can get.
