1 wheel weighs exactly 17kg in my sti ra v6 the standard 16inch wheel with 205/50/r16 tyre so dont think the 17 be v much more

looks like good weight saving with a lighter set.

isnt every 1 kg saved on a wheel like taking twice the weight from with in the car?

the sti alloys arent as heavy as youd think in comparison to a lot of after market wheels, I have a set of sparco alloys off my old classic and they weight nothing,

I have had to laugh at these folks fitting say 8 pot front brakes with 335/356mm discs, they all go on about performance then add a extra 2.7kg to each wheel and as mention you have to the rotate that so its actually slowed the cars acceleration down,

True fella a friend of mine had a set of wolfrace alloys on his car before and they weighted 19-20kg each if I remember right
