17" Light Wheels

I have been looking to upgrade my stock wheels, however I have two issues; weight & size to fit breaks.

I saw the Rota Slipstreams, which are 13lbs, but only in 16" - so I would not be able to add larger breaks.

All the 17" Rotas are as heavy or heavier then stock. So I guess I will have to look else where.

I found the SSR Comps on TireRack, they are only 13lbs, but at $355 a wheel, I think I will have to pass.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Please list name, weight, and price! ( I am interested in 17s)

Thanks.

I'm running 17" OZ SL's and they weight in at 15.1 lbs. They are some of the lightest non-forged wheels.

Most of the lightweight and durable ones are veeeery expensive. I thinking along the line of Volk, Advan, Work, Weds Sport, etc.

Save up and get some SSR Competitions, you will not regret it... Besides - are you really in a rush to spend your money?

The stock WRX 16" wheels weigh 16.5 lbs. You will have a very tough time beating that weight with a 17" or larger wheel unless you are willing to spend some money.
