What are some good rims comparable to the Prodrive P7's (anthracite color) in looks but lighter than 22 pounds?

Here are the P7 specs: 17" Diameter, 7" Width, +52mm Offset, 5x100

Spec wise or looks wise?

Spec-wise, just about all Subaru rims are comparable

So i drive my 1 hour it takes to drive down sunrise due to traffic to school, i was highly debating on not going tonight...

so i get there, classes look as normal, I walk to the back of the school where my class is to see a sign that states:

"IT203 is cancelled today 1/2/07"


so I get to drive back in traffic... thanks!

Har-de-har-har....

Looks-wise. I want them to look similar (gunmetal/dark grey/anthracite) but just be not as heavy. They don't even have to have the same number of spokes. I would prefer spinnArs though.

Are you really serious?

RotaSDR's are the closest you'll find, they're about 2-3 pounds lighter per wheel.

However, you're not gonna notice jack **** for a difference on a stock car with stockish suspension, so don't do it for any other reason that that you want new fancy wheels. Real lightweight wheels cost money.

I noticed quite a difference performance-wise going from stocks to P7's, that's why I'd like to find a wheel close to stock weight but the same size as the P7's (I already have a set of 17" tires sitting in my garage I could mount on new rims).

I guess another difference is I went from a 16" to 17" rim.

I guess I'll just live with my P7's for now and save money.

P7's 22.4 lbs.
SDR's 17.8 lbs.
Stock 16.5 lbs.
