i have these wheels for my S -- they look great! i got them from tirerack with blizzaks for winter use, and so far, am very happy with them. i think they're pretty close in weight to the OEM 17" wheels for the MY04+, maybe 1-2 lbs heavier or something like that. as djbrkb says, the offset in the rear is a little off, so the wheel does have a very slight protrusion (i have 245/40 17s in rear) but my car is not lowered either so no rubbing problems. the slight protrusion plus the lip actually make the rear tires look a little beefier, which is cool.

i didn't mention it before (per the comments on the rears slightly protruding) but when i mounted the rear wheels i had noticed that there was about 1 inch clearance from the spokes to the brake housings so i had the guy that refinished my wheels shave 1/8" off of the inner hub surface to bring the wheels back in a little - i like it even more now.. the cross section depth of the wheels bolt holes are reduced by 1/8" now but they were about an inch deep to begin with - because of this i didn't want to take off any more than 1/8"
by the way - i took some pics per your request - how do i post 'em???

I'm not an expert on this, but the way I did it was:
1. Upload them to snapfish.com.
2. Click on the uploaded photo in their website.
3. Copy the web address.
4. In your reply to this post click on "IMG"
5. Paste the web address into the "IMG" window.
That should do it. I believe you can do a search and I'm sure someone will have more detailed instructions on how to do it. You have to the pictures already on the web. You can't load them directly from your computer, I believe.
