they are (5zigen) Black Racing- Pro N1 Rims available at wheelmax.com. Fairly cheap and light, iirc they are 17 pounds for 17X7.

They are the 17x8 and 17x9, I am not exactly sure how heavy they are. I know that my konig subzeros were lighter. But I think they were around 16-17lbs.

awesome!! the ONLY change I would make to your car is to nix the blue connectors at the FMIC up front, they really clash w/ the rest of the car outside. Black ones can be had cheaply and easily and you should be able to replace them w/o removing anything.

Nice rims. I now run the same Bronze Black Racing as you do but in a wider size of 17"8 all around.

My opinion, and only my opinion: The darker the color of the car, the rims should be lighter, to contrast. Conversely, if the car is a lighter color, like white or light gray, the rims should be darker, to contrast.

Eh, I'm the exact opposite. When looking for wheels for my AE I wanted to keep the white - white color combo. I ended up getting Kevin Sproul's S5 meshies which he painted white. I like the color scheme of dark to dark, and light to light.

They both look good, I personally love your old setup of white on brave blue. The car is absoltely sick looking though, and the best part is it is nice and clean with no extras.
