Do you already have a color/finish preference? How important is weight vs aesthetics? Same re deep dish (i.e., wide rim) look vs brake clearance?

These would look good on the track, bet you'd get a few comments on them....I think they only weigh roughly 100lbs or so a rim. I tried to find some 17 inch spinners, but this was the best I could find...

I think those bead-locks are color matched to my car, cool.
How about something like these?

Weight: 17+/- lbs. Currently running webspokes which I think are about 22 lbs
Aesthetics: five star preferred, but not necessary.
Deep dish: having a lip is a plus
Brake Clearance: has to clear an R53 JCW, but most 17's do that anyway. -
OK, my serious answer to this question, with a budget wheel in mind would be the Konig Britelite, I just like the way these wheels look and they're less than $200 a wheel. Money no object, I like my BBS LMs, and CCWs look great too.
Konig:
BBS LM (without the custom finish):
CCWs (on a Miata):

Volk TE37 - forged, 15.0 lbs, on closeout at TireRack for $499 each. I know, six spokes and pricey, but a very good wheel.

I don't think the Konig's are 7.5. The LM's are great, so are the CCW's and the Volk, but i am trying to keep it to maybe $300-350 a wheel.

Oops, didn't notice that. If retail is $300 there should be good prices elsewhere....maybe. On the other hand, they may be hard to find....afraid my 17x7.5 list is full of hard to find wheels.
