Looking for new rims soon... Need imput.

[19Cutlass94]

The rims I have now, and several years old, and are starting to show some side effects of the years of use. Im looking for 17's, but width.... 7"..8"..? I dont know how wide of a rim I can fit on the Cutlass without running into issues or having it look stupid. Im also looking for a rim that doesnt weigh as much as the car. I need something light. I absolutely love 5spokes, but Im open to any suggestions.

 

I was thinking of getting black rims this time, but am unsure of how they would look on the car. I currently have polished aluminum rims, and they are a PITA...

 

Can you guys help me out?!

 

Thanks

and wheres what I found, the 17x7 weigh 19.6lbs vs 17x8 weigh 22lbs

 

Is that going to be a huge difference?

Damn, my 19x8.5"s weigh 27lbs... 17x8 = 22lbs:think:

 

And I have no complaints, then again the tire im using is kinda light.
