I got dibs already... Going to pick them up in a few hours, barring any unexpected surprises with them they'll be mine!

Dude...you will be very happy. IIRC the 16x7's weigh in around 15lbs. They may stick out just a tad from your fenders though.
Here's a linkt o pics of my car when I had Tribute wheels (16x7 +45 offset)

Yeah, I figured that lighter wheels certainly couldn't hurt... I'm not too worried if they stick out a little bit, I'm just interested to see what they look like and how the tires fit. The guy didn't have any info on them posted and I forgot to ask. Oh well. They look like they're about the right size in the pics.
I'm getting my wheels mounted tomorrow: New rims are 18LBS a piece, hopefully they look good on the car!

Also, I currently have 205/40/R17 on my rims and they don't rub anymore - when i had the 215/45/R17 the rear end rubbed all the time and resulted in me having to buy new tires because the rear fenders were slicing into my tires. I think that was partially because I had the entire suspension replaced, but did not replace the springs.
