                Nippon Lightstars weigh 15 pounds and are 150 each(600 for a set)@ www.machiii.net and they even have free shipping!

                They look alright, but they weigh so little. My mother said she is gonna get me them for a belated Xmas and early B-Day gift

                EDIT: here is the specific link: http://www.machiii.net/wheels/Nippon/LightStar.html

                  those look tight.

                  I don't drive a probe anymore.

                    Have a look at Rota Subzeros. I have 16's and they weigh about 14.5 lbs and have the correct offset. I think 17's are about 16 lbs but I don't know about offset. And they are as cheap as wheels get, good quality and very strong.

                        Wow! That's really light. Where did you find those? I'd like to check them out.

                        The SSR Competitions are also extremely light...They weigh in at 13.5 lbs. for the Anthracite finish and 13.6 lbs. for the silver. Of course, they also cost about $355 apiece. I use them as autocross wheels (not on a Probe) and can feel the difference. And they look awesome, too.
