Which one do you like best? I'll be posting pics of each. These are what I'm considering for my silver Evo 
Some of them aren't immediately available..but all of them should be available by mid march.

Jeez...
IF these can be acquired in 17x8, 38mm offset and <20lbs I'm interested m'self - and inexpensive will likely win. I need a set of wheels for autocross.
Until I know size and fitment, I like RP02J, and GN+ the best... I like fewer spokes and smaller centers - just my taste. I'm votin' RP02J... whether YOU need them or not!

Thanks for letting me know what's fine for me For your info these 17" wheels listed are all good quality and fairly light. All are easily lighter than stock. ALSO, I NEED 2 sets of wheels..one for daily driving and another to mount my race tires. I'm not about to blow $2k on rims alone. I have other things to spend money on. There is no need to pay big money for wheels. If you feel that any rim under 250 is a waste of money that's your opinion..don't vote..plenty of people feel otherwise.

broeli, I am with you. I have other things that the money can better serve then spending too much for wheels. I have my winter tires installed on the stock wheels and want something else for my Advans. I like both the Gram Lights and the Team Dynamics both of which I am currently thinking about getting. Good Luck.

Hi everyone.
I would get the pro race 1. As far as a track wheel goes, the strength vs. price ratio can't be beat. Even though they might be on the heavier side, the designs looks like it provides a lot of support. I really like the gunmetal. The RPO2 come in as a close second place for me.
Cheers,
Will

Haha Eli, your doing all my homework for me! I kinda like the GN+; I haven't seen it before. I still like the Gram Light too. Is that weight right for the RPF1? If so, I might just have to do those instead.

I got the Enkei weights directly from their website..so they should be fairly accurate.
There is a guy local to us with the RPF1's. They look better in person..but look a little small because of the way they're designed.

i think i may get the team dynamic in flat black... hmm.... i ono though... 17s i can put my stock advans on, and leave my stockers with the winter tires alone....
though i believe a website quoted the weight at 19.9 pounds for the team dynamics...
