Lightweight 17" wheels??

I got my G35x a few weeks ago and I've been looking at upgrading the wheels to 18s or 19s. Good wheels and good all-season tires are ****ing expensive, so I'm considering not increasing wheel size and getting a set of nice, lightweight 17" wheels. Lightweight 17s might actually yield a noticeable performance increase too. I already have an extra set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero 235/50/17 tires so it would be an easy switch.
Anyone know of any lightweight 17" wheels that don't look like tuner wheels? I hate wheels that are simulated 2/3 piece wheels, those fake bolts look like ****.

work, volk, SSR, BBS, OZ, iforged, DPE, HRE all make 2-3 piece wheels in 17" which should be relatively lightweight. What exactly do you mean "tuner"

I'm mostly referring to the wheels with simulated bolts.

light 17" wheels would be volk te-37/ce28n/re30, SSR type-F/type-C, OZ superlegga. Some other light cast options would be enkei rpf1, rp03, actually pretty much all of the racing line, 5zigen fn01rc, gn+, gr+520. All available in 17" sizes

all those are great options, also wedsport the sa-70, sa-90 and if you can find the tc005, the last is extremely light in 17". very rare since they have been discontinued. Rota also has some light options in 17, the konig feather and oz ultraleggera.
