Some Pics of my new Wheel/tire combo. The Wheels are Centerline 17" and weigh 16 lbs. The tires are Falcon 205/45-17 and Weigh 19.1 lbs. This is about 3 lbs per wheel and I will report back my milage hit after my 1st tank. So far I really notice an improvement in way she handles.

Great looking wheels. Handling sounds like it's better but how is the ride with such a low profile tire? I also was wondering what the tint is on you car. I am looking at tinting my windows and haven't decided 50%, 35%, or ? Yours looks darker and ligher at different angles.

But I have got you beat in wheel weight - my wheels weigh in at 4.5 kgs (9.9 lbs) per. The improvement in handling is probably due to the wider tire width. If you add some strengthening to the suspension (front strut brace, lower front suspension bracket and BT stiffening plate immediately come to mind), you will see even more improvement in handling.
Looks very nice and I was glad to read that you were concerned about weight as well as looks. Nice job.
