Help me decide on wheels.. Please!
I can not figure out which wheels I want. I don't know if I want gunmetal or black. I also need help on the offset. I'm getting 17x7's, so what offset can I have? These are the wheels I'm debating:
Also, the REV wheels only weigh 16.3lbs and the Konigs weigh 20.7.

What about this wheels from wheelguyz.com
An HP EVO 18"x8" wheel with tires for $999.00 and free shipping. I got this wheels on sale from them about months ago for $849.00

These are similar (the five-spoke design) to the ones sold by Edge Racing and AK Tires, and both lighter than the weights you've posted IIRC. (Webb Motorsports sells the AK's, if you're looking.)
If you're not set on that style, also check out RSpeed which has some light Rotas which are inexpensive.
If you're just looking for lots and lots of places to buy wheels best bet is to go grab a mag like sport compact car. Always tons of wheel adverts in there and it'll give you a good idea of what's out there. (Wheelmax.com, Wheelsboutique.com, Tires.com, 1010tires.com, etc., etc.)
Ooh yeah--here's a good link to a buyer's guide that has a lot of wheels, weights, and mfg. links. http://www.importtuner.com/features/..._wheelguide02/
Later,
Jeff
ps: Personal faves are Superleggeras, Team Dynamics Race 1's, Centerline RPMs.

MiniMeCoop - what is your primary concern in a new wheel purchase? Weight? Cost? Style? Some other wheels to consider would be offerings from BBS, OZ, SSR or Volks. While they may be more expensive, the build quality and finish are worth saving up for IMO.
Here's a quick photoshop to give you an idea about the REV wheels. At 16 lbs, thats would be my suggestion between the two manufacturers. Anything weighing less than that is going to get expense compared to those. For a better idea about gunmetal or black on PS/B, see Page 11.
