Allright people, the IS300 rims@ 22lbs each is just killing my performance on the track, as well as being a big poopoo to change/swap due to the weight. Any suggestions on the measurements/brands/models for 17inch rims? I need them to be as wide as possible and more importantly extremely light. I was thinking around the lines of ROTA slipstreams as they have a 17x8.5 model, but dont know the offset i should be getting with 8.5width rims. Im currently running 5mm spacers in the rear as the lexus wheels with 215 tires rub. Any suggestions? Its mainly for track use so i might be mounting some fatty grippy tires on it. Can't go smaller than 17 cause of the front supra brakes.

damn those look nice too. Look I'm going for is the thin spoked rims so I get good brake rotor cooling. Anymore suggestions? I like the weight on those 17x8 rims.

Back then I tried to get th 19" motegi trak lite at discount tire. But no luck.Because the salesman was a dumbmonkey. Guess what the salesman said. "What do you want them, theyre cheap". I ask why? He said because theyre from Taiwan. You can sure try them, but I dont recommend it. The only deals I found where online, but they were all around the same prices.
