What rims to get

hey guys I am looking at getting a set of summer wheels. I got around $900 to spend. I occasionally drag the car so i am looking for something light. was looking at the Rota DPT 17x9 +35 in black. Can you guys recommend any other wheels in black around the same price and where I can find the Rota's cheap if there is a place?
thanks
Luis

I have these sitting in my garage. They are Konig Heatsink (+40 offset) wheels (18x8). They have a small three inch rub on them as I turned too quickly leaving an ATM. I can sell them to you for $450 and I'll cover all shipping costs as well as the 3% Paypal fees.

Enkei RPF1's. Contact Oakos Auto (vendor on here), they had the best price I could find for a new set (I bought a used set). 17 x 9 is right around 16lbs I think. I got a set of 17 x 8.5 and they weight 16lbs.

Rota's are heavy.

Very common misconception.. The Rota DPT in 17x9 fitment is only 18 lbs, in the Evo 8/9 specific fitment (17x9 +35) they are only 19.1 lbs That is very impressive for a cast wheel, especially considering the price of the wheels.
