I have a set of the 2001+ 17x8 Mustang GT wheels. I'll try and weigh them sometime soon when I get the chance.

But they're a great choice in any case, regardless of weight. They're cheap, and they're durable. Both of which are more important than weight in my book, for now at least. I got my set for $100.

Cheap and light = not necessarily durable

Light and durable = well...(unless you go for those RPF1s ARD T2 has)

17lbs :-)
17x8 GT's are a great weight/budget solution for FCs.

Or, you could get a spacer/adapter and use lighter FD wheels. For instance a 25 mm adapter http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5x114...spagenameZWDVW would make a 25mm offset equivalent. A 15 mm adapter would make 35 mm offset. One of the two adapters - or maybe both - should work (I am not familiar with the FC fender and suspension clearances).

That's weird. When my GT wheels arrived the boxes were marked as being ~21lbs IIRC, and the cardboard probably didn't weigh 4lbs, although I've never weighed the wheels bare.
