Weight is a big thing for me. As I got screwed out of some cash lately in a wreck, (not my car) I am looking to be somewhat inexpensive and still drop some weight from the wheels. Least I've found in a good 17x7 so far is 17 pounds. I woulnd't be unhappy dropping 28 pounds just from wheels.
I like pretty much all of the styles, but I'm guessing the Racing Pros would be the best bet for low dough. That or the Rotas. Let us know what you find. I'm still interested if I can get some money scraped together. You can PM me to keep ARD happy. And ARD, if you have some deals, let me know! I'd love to make a deal, and I know that you know what fits!

The rotas with a split five spoke. They look really similar to pictures Ive seen of the MP3. How big and how much are they?
The Slipstreams weigh in at 13.5lbs for the 16's" which I think is good for the wheel diameter and price.
The Pro Racing N1's weigh in at 17.5lbs for the 17's" which I think is starting to be the average for a 17
The Rota "Battle" tip the scales at 18lbs for the 17's" which isn't bad.
The VOLK GT-N's tip in at a suprisingly hefty 18.5, but if you get those who cares about weight. You'd have some nice Volks. Let me know if there is another info you need. All these wheels with the expection of the Rota Battle which I'm still looking up on, come in 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 45+offset. In other words, yes they'll fit.

Which wheel companies would be considered "knock-offs" and why?
Well, Rotas might be "knocking off" the look or style, but they got the performance value right on. Their durable and light weight for more than half the price of the Spoon ones. So, for those people that can't afford Spoon wheels but still want the performance value and that j-spec look, Rota provides it.
