Meanwhile .. can anyone tell, how much lightest 17" TWS that can be fit on ours and has native 5x100 pattern & reasonable offset, weight? Yes, 16x7 beats many others of 16" size, but how well these do among very lightest 17" ones?

17x8 is around 14.3lbs. One of our clients purchased a set last year and has them on his car. 16x7 would be around 10.6lbs, however, tire choice is a little less versatile. We prefer overall balance between cornering grip, driving predictability, tire management, and straightline speed.
