Depends on what the wheel looks like.

More details, I think your cost is optimistic. But forge ahead...
What are you thinking, 5 spoke or 6 spoke for cooling, etc?

What about:
The Motegi Traklite 17 x 8 is shown to weigh 15 lbs at: WheelWeights.net - Database of Wheel Weights (this is the largest data base of wheel weights I know of)
And it can be purchased in a 17x8 -- 4x100 at:
Motegi Traklite Traklite Black MR23887849 17x8
or
Motegi - Traklite (Flat Black) -

Thanks to everyone for your input. Here's more info.
The vendor wants to remain anonymous for now. I think they're following this thread.
The style can be a five or six spoke or a 9 spoke....not likely to be a mesh or a double spoked or a radical form. Likely along the lines of a Volk TE37 or an OZ Allegerrita HLT.
The price is ambitious for a forged wheel for sure. Not really sure what they have in mind. I simply said such a price on a forged wheel would get a lot of attention.
I think the opportunity here is to get a quality light, wider wheel (I prefer an 8.5" but the 8" will do) with only the 4x100 holes. My Kosei K1 TS wheels are great but I can only get them in 7" width and the extra holes detract from the look, at least for me.
It would likely be offered in silver or maybe gunmetal but not black. -
