Default Best Looking LIGHTWEIGHT wheels on a Red SRT?

I have been searching for a couple days now trying to figure out what wheels I like the best. I'm not 100% sure if I want a 17" that I can run a 225 DR on all the time, or if I want an 18" that I would put RT-615s on.
I know the 17" is going to hook way better but I wont the wheels to look tiny.
If you guys could post pics that would be great. I have found a bunch that I like and when I see them on a car I dont like them as much.
My favorites are SSR Type C, but as you can imagine I dont want to drop that much $ on them. 5zigens fn01-r are the ones I would like to see pics of the most. And of course YOUR OPINIONS!

EDIT: I think I am pretty much sold on the fn01-rc wheels in Silver with 235-40-17 RT-615 tires.
Who has the best price on 5zigen?

I would say the 5zigen FN01r series wheels. Your choice of color. light, good looking and just a really nice wheel.

^Those wheels are NOT that leightweight. Are they strong most definitely.

The SSR's are the ones to get. I have a set of SSR's Comps (17x7.5) and really like that I'm able just to pick them up with one hand and carry them around with 225/45/17 tires mounted on them. No need to roll them around unless you really want to.

In my mind the SSR's are worth every penny that I paid for them. Plus if you can get a set used you'll save even more that way. Also since SSR went bankrupt and they started the new line they offer even more color options here in the states then they used to.

My vote is for the SSR's.

SSRs are great. Probably the ones I would definatly like to have the most but I'm not looking to spend over $1200 for wheels AND tires.

Unfortunately what you are trying to do is difficult. There are LOTS of cool wheels you can buy on a budget , but almost none that are truly lightweight and affordable at the same time ! When you do find lightweight rims , you have to also ask yourself about their strength. MANY really light rims bend very easily with just one really nasty pot-hole. I know , as I've had it happen to me with certain rims.
I'm in exactly the same quandry as you are .... I currently have extremely light weight rims on my car ( 15.6 lbs ) , and they are pretty much indestructable ... I mean strong as hell. I've ran two different sets of these same rims for three + years now , and have never bent one or seen one get even slightly out of round , but I'm ready now for a completely new look , and I just can't find that new look I'm wanting , that is also as light and strong as what I have now.
I had a friend who let me swap his 18 lb rims on my car for a weekend , and DAMN what a HUGE difference !!!!! My car was considerably slower with accelleration , didn't corner nearly as responsively , and didn't brake as well. It just felt like I had a heavier , slower , and less responsive car
I'm about to the point where I'm just going to probably paint my current wheels for that different look i want, and that way I won't lose performance. Damn Centerline for only offering my wheels in the one fucking finish ! They are perfect in every way if you like high polish , but yeah ... I'm definitely at my wits end with searching for something else

I think I change my mind every day. Now I think I might wait I find some used SSRs. I cant decide if they are really worth the extra change.

I thought about getting some SSRs for a long time , but then it just kind of dawned on me : That's a stupid amount of money for whees , considering I'm NOT using them primarily for competition purposes.
