WTB: Lightweight Rims 17x8 5x100

Hello baic, just posting to see if there are any rims that people are interested in selling me while I'm back in the Bay for spring break. I'm in no big rush to buy, just want to see what's out there in the market.

Preferably looking for lightweight wheels, so no Rota's please. Less than 16.5 pounds. (That is the stock weight of 05 rims, surprisingly light, and don't want extra spun weight). Offset around +43 ~ +47

If you are going back to stock, I would love to trade my 05 bronze stockies + cash on top.

+04 STi BBS = if the price is low enough... not interested in overpaying just because the scarcity of these rims.
+Enkei RPF01
+SSR
+anything light

Color preference is Silver, solely because I want the car looking as stock as possible. Plus if you have tires on them, but not looking for any super fancy sticky tires.

A little curbage is fine, hell even scrapes are okay. lol even mismatching paint is okay, looks don't matter to me at all. as long as performance is okay and there is no bend in the rims.

Will be back in the bay from March 18 - March 26 so hoping to pick them up during that window.

Sorry I sound so picky, i am.

Thanks In Advance,


Kevin

bump! depends on the rims i guess, but considering I don't care about condition as long as not bent, not looking to pay higher than market average.

haha I know

well 17X8.5 is just a touch too big, 17X8 +45 is the perfect size to run on rolled fenders without doing the whole camber plate/ adj lat link trick, Im just gonna run the new gunmetal Enkei RPF1s in that size run either 225/45s or 235/40s if I can get away with it

Those look really nice. I plan on 235/45's if they will work as well. The 215/45-17's have loads of space. Already got my adjustable lateral links on the car tho, so I just need the camber plates and camber bolts and I can get enough room even for the 255's.
