Ce28s are 2.5k new.

Enkei rpf1s are the lightest for the money. 7kg ish and about 1k Inc shipping and duties from the states

These Rotas are cheap and light:

They've been used successfully on track (PJL used them in his race car).

Are you buying for weight/looks or both?

The OP said he didn't want any sticky out wheels

They are not really that light Ian, they weight roughly the same as stock 17's - which isn't a bad thing.

Oh and fit rota's and you will die (I'm a rota owner).

Both I guess. Not really looked at rotas. I sort of got it in my head to get 'special' ones or not bother at all.

Quite simply you need these! They don't get much lighter or rare and they are on sale. Good guys that I have bought from before!

They work out at £1054 at the current decent exchange which leaves you 500 to ship and import tax/duty. Doable I think! Especially as Ian at ICB seems to be able to send me stuff with no duty or import fees...

I have a set of SSR type C that are very light, they are 16" but you could look into the 17"s, try the US for sale section for traders.
