Rays Volks would be my recommendation, their wheels are feather light especially the forged magensium wheels that they produce.
BBS are ten a penny.

I posted a standard 17" STi rim from a MY03 once and I'm sure it was 9KG.

According to that, the BBS forgies aren't actually that light: 8.7kg in 17x8.
If that's the case, why all the fuss?
