I6's would be the BEST option with weight and flexibility in mind, but 17's are more stylistically appealing.

Rota makes a bunch of bronze wheels (jlbmotorsports.com). I have falken Hanabis on my car and they come in bronze as well, and they're very lightweight.

What kinds of rims are those?

Btw, I prefer 17" also because they cover the gap in between.

I still get it when people say that... How does rims size get rid of wheel gap? When you get bigger rims you are supposed to get a different sized tire to match the overall diameter of your old and new tires to not throw off the speedo and that. And when you do that your gap will remain the same.

16"'s are a good look, and I also think bronze rims look like crap. Go with black or silver/chrome.

Yea, I dont' get it either. I did the proper measurements to sizing tires to a stock diameter and mine look more filled out. I think it's a trick on the eyes, the bigger the wheel is, the less black tire, the more tangible the difference between the fenderwell and the wheel becomes.
