You have one option....and it's the best option. Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45, 17x8 +45. You can get a set ranging between $900-$950 brand new and shipped from the right vendor here on s2ki. They weigh a mere ~17 pounds or so and they are exactly what you're looking for. Nothing beats the RPF1 when it comes to function and price.

Another option would be the Enkei PF01 or TSW Nurburgring. A little heavier, but come in different finishes and higher offsets if you want to avoid fender rolling .

Totally forgot about the PF01, they are solid wheels as well and they don't need fender rolling

Tsw has a few options beyond the nurenburg. Plus there is those 17x10 rotas. Not the lightest but easily the widest wheels that fit our area for under $1k. The next answer is a used set of wheels. I have seen works, enkei, ssr, etc for cheap but you have to move fast and they may need a little love.

Can't go wrong with RPF1's. If you don't mind that there's quit a few of us rocking them.

I can't say I like the design of the pf01 so those are out but the tsw may look good....I really want the lightest possible to save trying to bring down rotational weight I think I will just have to go with the rpf1s also I'm rocking Silverstone which color rpf1 y'all think would look the best

There are some really light OZ wheels in 8.5 square too the autocrossers use.

It'll be a tossup between those, used wheels and rpf1.
