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

hmm pretty good prices, and they come in the right offsets too.. 1010tires.com says they weigh 20lbs though..

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.
