Need help of wheel experts
I'm thinking to make my stock wheels my winter wheels, and I'm looking to buy a new summer wheels/tires.
My problem is I'm a perfectionist with small budget.
I know quite well what I want, but not sure where to get it.
So here is criteria:
1) 17" or 18" stock sizes.
2) Black color (flat black is preferable), gunmetal is okay if it really dark
3) Wheel/tire weight should be lighter than my stock 17" weight.
4) Design I like is something between SSR Competition and TE37.
Here is desing examples I like (but I need black):
I don't care about nice labels, rivets, polished lips etc. It has to be light and simple.
5)less than $1500 for wheels/tires set. If I had bigger budget I'd simply by SSR competition or TE37, but I can't afford them.
Thanks for your input.

And what is exactly the weight of stock 17"th? Numbers are so different everywhere... is it 20lbs or 24lbs?
How about rim+tire weigth (stock 17")?

Gewalt evo II's come in a nice flat black. Sweetest black wheel I've seen - I don't really like the shiny black.
I don't know the weight or if they come in 18's.
They are a simple design and not too pricey.

I've been called many things but not a tire expert.
But I'm looking for the same thing....light, wide, cheap & black. I'm leaning towards MB Motorsport 17 x 9, about 17 lbs. & only about $187.00 at Discount Tire Direct. Wish they had more widths, but the non-track Z's 18's are both 8" wide, so it shouldn't be an issue.
I can't find my notes, but I remember the OEM 17's weigh about 24 & 25 lbs.

I'm thinking of 255/40's & 275/40's, maybe BFG KD's. I think the model name is Competition. Wish they had a 17 X 10".
