        im runnig about 225-240 to the wheels on a good day. Its a 97 240 b.t.w. I was looking at the gram lights 57 pros also but im not sure if I want those any more. I heard they arent really that light at all. Name some good lightweight wheel selections, that would help alot. You know, to get the creative juices flowing.

          light weight 17's should be bout 17lbs. Lighter the better. I think the VOLK TE37 17x8 are like 15 lbs or so, their 16x8 version is a tad under 14lbs.

              17 is a middle weight. Rotas 15" only weighs 12lbs.

                  I think that OZ-Racing isn't much of a name there in US, but they have some good and light wheels.

                  For example OZ Superleggera weights 6,9kg (~15lbs) in size of 17*7". And looks cool too: http://www.ozracing.com/shared/car/racing/02_big.jpg

                  Only problem with those are that they look too small. So if you are going to purchase 17" wheels, you have to go with 18" Superleggeras to look as big as other wheels.
