Need suggestions for lightweight 17x8.5-9" wheels

I'm trying to find a set of wheels that will be lightweight but not break the bank. The catch is that I don't wan't 18" wheels. I'm looking for 17x8.5" or 17x9". Anybody with thoughts. I tend to like simple and functional looking wheels. I'd be happy if our stock 16's were 17's.

Thanks,
Justin Wade

I think the 5zigen FN-01R-C are pretty light and relatively affordable.

Yup... I think you can get SSR comps in that size from tire rack too.

Enkei RPF1 does not have FD offsets in that wheel size. The SSR wheels are incredible for the price..... 5zigen FN-01RC good too.
