I run OZ Alleggeritas, 4x 17x8.5 +59 with 245 star specs. They had weight tags showing 15.2-15.6 lbs each. Didnt roll fenders, and No rubbing. I am lowered a bit. Several track days and autox later they are doing okay. I might upgrade to PF01s at some point, but was happy not to bother with fender rolling and 10mm of tire is lost in the noise of learning to drive this car for now. (new from RX-8... very different)

A fellow local Autocrosser has had issues with center caps coming loose. He thought it might be because they are plastic and are getting exposed to too much heat from the brakes/wheel hub.
I'll probably leave the center caps out anyways, I'm not exactly going for looks

I'm looking for a DD/Rain AutoX tire. The tire choice would be the continental DW since they are a great rain/DD tire and I'm still up in the air on wheels. I want something "light" but I'm not gonna buy volks or something for rain tires. According to rimsntires.com to match my 17x9 +63 949 I need to use a 17x8 +45 to +48. I'm gonna run 225/45/17 tires. The OZ Alleggerrita HLT seem to be a good choice. They come in a +48 offset and tirerack says they weight 15.5 lbs. The Enkei RPF1 is another but tirerack claimes 15.6 lbs. The bad thing about the enkei is it's a +45 wheel. Whats the lightest/ cheapest wheel on the market I should go with?

the SSR type-c wheels are 15.7 lbs and like $510 each. Thats crazy. Are the OZ wheels in 17x8 +48 really the lightest in that size?
