Check these out: Kosei RT Penta's

I'm going to get these. I don't know quite how much the 17's weight, but I do know how much other sizes weight:

Kosei RT Penta Cast 15x7 13.8lbs.
Kosei RT Penta Cast 18x7.5 18.5lbs.

Nice huh? The 17's should weigh something like 16.5lbs - 17lbs.

They also sell gun metal, or black opal. Not the really dark gun metal. I've seen some on Ebay.

The only thread I could find mentioned 20/22 pounds. I'm not sure if that's with or without the tire? Probably with the tire.
