Can't find wheels that'll fit on Brembo GT bbk

Hey all,

I've got on 02 wrx with the Brembo GT kit and am currently riding on Technomagnesio Indianapolis in 17" x 7" wheels. However, these are my winter wheels now and I want to get something nicer for summer. Does anybody have or know what wheels will fit on these brakes. They're 328mm with the lotus caliper. I asked subydude and he said the SDR and Tarmac II, but I don't want either of those. I asked TireRack and they gave me a list of cheap heavy wheels or ridiculously expensive wheels that I can't afford. I don't really want to go with 18's either.

Thanks

Know where I can find any photos and information on the Volks.

Thanks

Here's what we have to fit over the Brembo 328s:

ASA LW5 184 (17")
Mille Miglia Action 139 (17")
Mille Miglia Action Sport 149 (17")
Mille Miglia Avia 129 (18")
Mille Miglia Cup 3S 109 (17")
Mille Miglia Evo5 159 (17")
O.Z. Superleggera 350 (18")
O.Z. Superleggera III 740 (18")
Sport Edition Fox 2 144 (17") 175 (18")
Sport Edition Fox 2 Sport 144 (17") 175 (18")
SSR Competition 355 (17") 419 (18 ")
SSR GT1 339 (17")

With a $2500 brake kit, few of these should be considered "rediculously expensive."

Thanks for the information Dexter. However, don't assume that just because I have a $2,500 set of brakes I paid that much for them. A complete set of Rota Tarmac II's cost less than one Superleggera III and weigh about the same, but I don't care for that design. I know that the O.Z series wheels and SSR comps. are lightweight, but what other wheels weigh less than 18lbs? That will help me make my decision. The wheels I have now weigh just about 20lbs and their a little on the heavy side.

The SSRs are the only ones - the ASA comes in at 18.5 lbs. though.

*SSR Comp in silver or anthracite - 12.5 lbs. for 17s and 14.6 lbs. for 18s.

*SSR GT1 - 14.5 lbs. for 17s
