You've got a good head on your shoulders. For now look for those 5zigen or you may have to consider one of the cheap low pressure cast wheels or go custom.
Thanks. The low offset is to clear the front strut without a spacer with our suspension setup. We are at the clearance limit now, so those additional 5mm will be problematic at our higher camber tracks.

I did find a weight reference for the 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x9 wheels, 20lbs.

If true, that makes them the same weight as our Rota Grids but at higher cost. We expect to go through a few wheels per season, so cost becomes a factor long term.

Looks are mostly irrelevant. If the lightest, cheapest, most robust wheels were pink with Hello Kitty stickers all over them, that's what I'd run .
