You'll get there fast but won't accelerate fast.

I was wanting the Konig Rated Rs and I believe they were around 17 lbs each. Would have bought them too if it werent for the fact that Discount tire wanted almost $30 each more per tire than the tire rack.Oh well.... Live and learn...

I'm sorry to hear your sigh of disappointment..
But you can't expect to get everthing you want for less than $200 on 17s.

Like Jeffy said, 23lbs/per are about avg. for 75% of non-chrome cast wheels in today's market.

If you went with lightweight cast (ie Konig, Enkei brand), don't expect them to endure the famous NYC pottyholes if you plan on drive up here one day.
