Unfortunately the original K1 has been discontinued. At first I thought the K1 TS was junk but then I looked up the specs on it. 17x7" is rated at 6.3 kg which is 13.86 lbs! But, they don't make a 17x7.5" width.

Neither the 5Zigen FN01R-C nor the Buddy Club P1 are available in 17x7.5" size. I would go with the ATS Competition which sells for $155 a piece from discounttiredirect.com and is available in either silver or flat black. Not sure on the exact weight but most ATS wheels are reasonably light.



PS - Don't put the flat black on your car.

17-18lbs sounds good. At least it's not 23lbs like some of the Velox wheels :chuckles:
http://machiii.net/wheels/rota_subzero.html - 17 x 7.5, 16.5 lbs, ~138 each.

heh, I'm thinking of flat black just so I don't have to worry about chipped paint or other crap. They'll only really spend at most 1-2 days on the car each month. The rest of the time I roll on my purdy 18x7.5" 5zigens

anyways, I don't plan on buying anything until my current tires are in need of replacement. Hopefully this will happen AFTER i do the suspension setup this summer (hopefully :happysad: ) In the meantime I guess I'll keep a lookout for used rotas...
