I'm probably going to go with something from O.Z. Maybe Ultraleggeras or Superturismos, like below.

Those are a helluva lot of spokes to keep clean - believe me, I know because of the OZ Aristo wheels on my previous gti. But they sure look good.

I am 100% positive that 11.5lbs is a typo on Tire racks part despite repeated claims that they double checked the weight, they are only a cast rim (a very light cast rim based on the weight of the 18's) but forged wheels are typically significantly lighter than cast and the lighest 17" wheels I know of are all around 13 lbs (SSR Comps, Mugen MF10's, Racing Hart CP-035, Volk Ce28N).

Beyond that go too OZ's very own website the weight of a 17x7 wheel (not even that wide) is listed at 7.2 kgs thats 15.8 lbs, why would a 17x8 be 11.5?
