17/7.5 Wheel and Tire Setup, Your opinion

So I have been looking at wheels and tires like crazy wanting to purchase something that looks and performs better than stock. I definitely dont want wheels that weigh more than stock and would love to come in under 19lbs.

I ran across this little gem of a wheel weighing only 16.3lbs and only cost $173!!! Motegi Racing MR125 http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...ed&showRear=no

I wanted to go with an 18 wheel but to get down below 20 lbs I am going to spend $250+ per wheel.

As for tires I am looking for a great performer but something that can also be a daily driver and not wear out in 10,000 miles.

My current selection is Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position which run about $154 each: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....cleSearch=true

Only downside to this setup is the lack of width I guess. Its not a 8 or 9 inch width which could give up some grip.

What do you think?
