I'm waiting on a 720 Form GTF1 in a 17X8 and a 17X9 both +35 offset to test fit. They weigh 15.5 Lbs. and 16.8 Lbs. respectively and are made using the flow form process. I ordered them from CARID about a week ago. They were NOT able to confirm fitment on the 2017 with PP. I really hope they fit because I think they may be an ideal track/autocross wheel. I will post results when they get here.
Update: I just got notice that the wheels are scheduled to ship on Thursday March 16th. I don't know if they're shipping from the manufacturer in Canada or a distribution center in the lower 48. I'm in California, and know they have a distribution center here, so I'm hoping that's where they're coming from.

I'm quoting myself:-) The wheeles arrived on Friday night. They look both fantastic as well as unique, and the quality seems to be exceptional.
Unfortunately, the spokes of the wheels interfere with the 4 piston Brembo Calapers on the front of the PP equipped car. From what I can tell, it looks like 8mm spacers, or at a bare minimum (seems a little tight) 5mm spacers would be necessary to clear the Brembos with the 8" wheels. If my math is correct, 5mm spacers with a +35 offset (stock is +48 offhset) = 18mm further out (more scrub radius). From my calculations (I could not mount a tire and set the car down), the outer edge of the rim would extend about 1/4" (poke) beyond the fender directly above the center cap of the wheel (stock on the PP Wheel is about 3/4" (tuck) in, or inside the fender).
On the 9" wheels, the spokes of the wheels interfere with the 4 piston Brembo Calipers, although not as much as on the 8" wheels. From what I can tell, it looks like 5mm spacers, or at a bare minimum (seems a little tight) 3mm spacers would be necessary to clear the Brembos. If my math is correct, 3mm spacers with a +35 offset = 16mm further out (more scrub radius). From my calculations, the outer edge of the rim would extend about 5/8" (poke) beyond the fender directly above the center cap of the wheel. Also, please note that without a tire mounted, and the car sitting on the ground, I can't be sure about interference with the PP springs.
The rear 2 piston calipers did not interfere with the 8" or 9" wheel and would not require any spacers. From my calculations, the outer edge of the 8" rim would be in about a 1/4" (tuck) inside the fender directly above the center cap of the wheel, and the outer edge of the 9" rim would extend about 1/4" (poke) beyond the fender directly above the center cap of the wheel (stock on the PP Wheel is about 1" (tuck) in, or inside the fender).
I had intended on taking pictures, but got caught up in all the excitement and calculations. Sorry!
Let me know what you think.
