Those 17x9 Enkei's are under 16 lbs each if I remember correctly... but with the wide rubber, there is certainly a bunch more rolling resistance that eats the acceleration performance and fuel mileage.

I am really leaning towards going with the 17x8.5 40 (or the 17x8 35mm) offset Enkei RFP1's. I will have a Koni/GC set-up however and I will have to do some test fitting at a tire shop first to make sure something like that fits (with the 235/40/17 Azenis I am mounting on them) This combo will give me a wheel tire combo of about 39.0-.5 lbs. That is great IMHO

Since you're responding here; how about the Raze wheels, found curiously on your "specials" page and not on the "wheels" page...Is the $675 each or for the set? Are they 17" or 18"? What width and offset? The address linked says 18x7", but it also says "Ace Impact", so there's no way to expect it's accurate. http://svx-motorsport-accessories.st...pact18x7s.html Sorry to sound put off, but you're in business and it's difficult as a prospective client to find the parts, or info on the parts, I need. Thanks for what you're doing for the community, but I hope some of the suggestions sink in and you can better market the products you offer. Some consistency on your product pages and thoroughness in the product detail given would be terrific. If you need help laying out the website, I'd be more than willing to try to help. Thanks!

Anyway, I thought I was doing pretty well with the set I have, the "mystery wheels". They're 17x8, +42mm, and 16.5# each. And they weren't too expensive. I haven't weighed them with rubber (225s - stock width) mounted, but I should since they're off the car right now.

http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html The 17x8.5+40's should fit almost identically to the 17x9's that I've got on the car (1mm more fender clearance, and 11mm more strut clearance). The 17x8+35's will give you 3mm more fender clearance and 23mm more strut clearance than the 17x9+45's. But +35 offsets worry me a bit because the steering center of the tire will be pushed out like an inch making the steering heavy and loading the power steering pump/rack more than usual. 'Course 17x8+35 is very close to the stock EVO Enkei, which I've had on the car, and it didn't drive terribly... but I did have to roll the rear fender to make 'em fit. If you're lowered, you'll probably want something more like a 17x8+48 like most the Rotas come in these days, or you're going to be rolling the rear fender and/or running some crazy negative camber to make things fit. Unfortunately the closest RPF1 to that size is the 17x7.5+48, which will have a ton of clearance, but will probably max out with 225/45/17 width tires.

So I just contacted a Enkei dealer and they said that thay have 17x8 RFP1 rims in a 45mm offset. These aren't listed on the Enkei website, but the person I talked to insisted that they did and then emailed me this morning to confirm. $235 a piece.

I should have mentioned that.... I did specify the BCP to the guy. I am hoping to get these with Falken Azenis in a 245/40/17 @ 24ish lbs. Total weight would be about 39lbs per corner. Down from about 47.5lbs that I am at with stockers.

However, one thing to note: just because the RPF1's will be lighter, they may not reduce the overall rotational inertia. Smaller wheels mean less effort to accelerate them, sometimes even if they're heavier.

Sperry, I know what you are saying about the different size wheels. You should check out the excel file that Mychailo has in his signature (or maybe on his site). It shows you exactly what will change when you swap rolling stock.
