I finally replaced that cracked wheel. Well, not just that one. All four! 
My car now sports 17"x7.5" Rota Circuit 10's. They weigh the same as my old 17"x7.5" Rota Attacks and have the same offset (45). The weight seems to be concentrated in the middle though, so they should allow me to accelerate quicker than the old wheels.
I wish I had gotten a different color, but oh well. Maybe I'll get them powdercoated a little later on down the road when I need new tires. I rotated the bald ones to the rear, so I could have some grip in the rain up front.
On a side note... I'm also getting winter tires on 14" steelies. They cost me $340 shipped from TireRack.com. Not a bad price I think. Same company as my current wheels (Kumho). Cheap and good (say the reviews on TireRack.com from real customers).

Rep Power: 326 I may sound really dumb when I say this, did you install your rotors backwards? I had powerslots on my Eclipse, and the angle of the slot is mirrored of what yours is. Just saying that because most cars I've seen go opposite of yours.
