Wheels for a Carbon Grey Perl

I am looking for wheels with less weigh of 22lbs in 17 inch and offset no less tha 45 for my car. Durability and weigh must be an issue here. These are on my research:

1. 5zigen MK6 or 5ZR Copse.
2. Giovanna Racing Seki or Niko.
3. Volks CE28N.
4. OZ leggera.
5. Enkei RPF1.

Any previous experience with any of these?
Which color ?
Which one ?


Your suggestions.

Thanks

Hey Giovanna Racing Seki Hyperblack on 17 inch wheels is only 16.5 lbs. It is very lighter. Why don't you go with 18 inch instead of 17 inch wheels? Seki with 18 inch wheels might be about 18.5 lbs. Volk Racing CE28N with 18 inch would be about 14 to 15 lbs per wheel. Volk Racing is very good quality and lightest than other wheels. But the price is pretty expensive!

First thanks for your reply.

1. I dont want to sacrifice ride and I just spent $$$ on Yokohama AVS ES100 tires on 17 inch.

2. Yes Volk is good but the difference in price for the wheels in Giovanna and Volk is a lot.

It is worth it? or What do you think ?

Thanks men

The Volks are sweet. If you can afford 'em get 'em. I saw a post of someone's TSX with them and it looked great. They are pretty light weight too.

They guy from tirerack answer one email and told me that the OZ superleggera came in two factors:

17 x 7 in 45 offset
17 x 8 in 48 offset which is better

price is $280.00 plus s/h

Is there any online place to check the volks?

Thanks for all

Thanks men very nice selection of wheels.
I check ENKEI NT03+M they are 17 x 7.5 with 48 offset and weigth 17.2lbs. They appear on the enkei japan site as the recommended wheels for accord euro cl7.

Thanks very much..
