Thinking About Getting Rims...Help

So I have the 05 Ex Coupe with the 15inch alloy rims. I did some searching and ppl say these are 16lbs each without tires right?

What do you guys recommend that are like 17 inches and about that weight or lighter? if not the same size and lighter?
Im going for looks and a wider tire, or just the same size and wider tire without trying to gain weight.

Thanks

Anything 17" and forged should be less than 16 lbs. They also make your wallet lighter.
No matter what, you'll go slower with bigger wheels. Not only because the tires are heavier, but also because of the extra inertia you pick up from the weight being farther from the hub.
