17x8 auto-x sedan wheels

Looking for some lightweight 17x8 wheels to fit the Azenis Sport 245/45/17 tires on for autocrossing.

Requirements are cheap ($200 or so), strong (reputable brand) sub-18lbs and offset between 40-45 so no rubbing issues.

Here's what I've found so far:
Enkei RPM2 +45 17.6lbs
Enkei RP02J +40 17.2lbs
5Zigen FN-01RC +43 17.0lbs
Racing Sparco NT-R +42 16.8lbs
OZ Superleggera +40 17.1lbs

Anyone else know of any others? I'm leaning toward the 5Zigens.

Re: 17x8 auto-x sedan wheels

what is the price difference between the 5zigens and the OZ's? I am planning on going to the OZ's sometime down the road. Just curious.

Re: 17x8 auto-x sedan wheels

I'm not ready to get rims for autox yet, but I'm leaning towards the Enkei RPO2-J's. Of course, I'm interested in the 17x7 size, to stay in the stock classes. I like them because they're they only lightweight (only 15.2 lbs in this size) and not horribly expensive rims I can find that match the stock rim specs.

Where do you run? What class?
