lightweight wheel suggestions, ~17x7

I've been trying to find a decent wheel set for my White/Halo FR-S, but I'm having a hard time finding something that meets all my criteria:

* 17x7 or 17x7.5 so I can put my 215x45 Indy 500s on - I really don't need anything wider
* light, under 17lb - If I'm gonna pay 500-1000$ for a set of wheels, I'd like them to be an upgrade to my stock ones & a bit better structurally for track days
* not stupidly expensive - up to ~1000$ would be ok for a set
* a color that's not too dark - silver, hyper black, maybe white?
* I prefer 5-6 single spoke designs, but open

My number #1 choice is the MR131 Traklite Motegis. However their 17x7s only come in black and bronze. Bronze isn't bad on its own, but not feeling it w/ the white car and although I like black a lot, I'm concerned that the contrast difference between it and the car color is just too great and would basically make the wheels hard to see.

Second in my list are the RPF1s. They are more expensive but lighter. However the 17x7.5s look... weird, with the spokes sticking out of the wheel. Dunno, I'm on the fence about the looks of this wheel. For almost a grand, I should like it a bit more, right?

Any other recommendations?

People with black wheels, do you find that they look better in RL than in photos?

Thanks!
