Default Looking for advice on these rims please?

ok guys, i have some 17'' Niche rims on my teg that need to go. Long story, so im not going into detail, but i need new rims. I just bought a set of 15'' TSW's, but the guy told me the wrong bolt pattern and they wont fit. So now im going with the rims i actually want.

I need some help here.

Im really only looking to spend around $400 on the rims +the cost of tires. Im kinda linited but know the area of what i want.
I want some 16''. I know the purpose of rims are not performance, but i didnt like the 17's at all. I felt a lag compared to the 15'' and they are SOOOO much heavier.
Thats what im looking for, some nice semi-light 16'' gunmetal or black rims.
Im really liking the 5 spoke theme.
Rims im interested in are the konig Hurry rims, but only have seen them in 15 and 17''?
Rota slipstreams, i knwo they are decent and pretty light, but how do they look on a teg? they are kinda plain jane.
also i like the STYLE of these rims, not these exact rims.

any one know what else i should look for. Trying to keep it a little light too.

Also think i should go with 16 or 17''??? eventually i plan on a 1.75" drop, i think the 17 would look a little high in the wheel well for my taste.

yeah i wouldnt go any bigger than 16" in my opinion. 17's are way too big for your car and def heavy.
