Default Rims

I'm looking at rims for my RSX, but I want light ones, my goal is to have rims that weigh equal to or less than stock, and i'm looking to get either 17x7.5 or 17x8. Only rims I know of that I like so far are the Racinghart GP-035, but they cost like $450 each. I don't know what the Racinghart S7's weigh (does anyone know?), and I like how those look better. O.Z. Superleggeras are out of the question, everyone's got them where I'm at. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Check out www.centerlinewheels.com and look at the RPM's they weigh in at 13.5# for the 17"X7" Forged one piece. Best price I have gotten so far is at Discount Tire for 275 each but they have to order them and it will take 2-3 weeks. Sears also sells them, but again you have to order them. Both places you need to go in to the store, they are not on their websites.

CENTERLINE RPM's

Racing Hart Evolution S7 EVO 18 X 7.5 weigh in at 22.2# each

The SSR Competitions 17x7.5 are about 12.7lbs each. Tirerack sells them for about $375, so they are kinda high.

I have also been looking for some cp-035 or something like them. I have found them for as cheap as 800 for a set. Mostly used on ebay but every once and a while there are new ones.

yeah, there's a pic in another thread of mine. they look kinda funny right now since they are a bright white, and the car is white pearl, but i'm gonna get them powder-coated to match the body.
