Cheap, light and 17s are going to be very though to find. You can pick up some HX rims (which are 14s) for cheap. Those are OEM Honda rims, and weigh 11.75 lbs.
EDIT: Dammit Dustin, you are always one step ahead of me.

That's crazy. My HXs with Azenis (not the lightest tire) were heavier than that.

Weld and Cragar came out with light 17" wheels for imports now. They're not exactly the most beautiful wheels, but they're light.

17" Centerline RPMs weigh only 14.6 pounds each. Not bad. http://www.centerlinewheels.co...1.jpg I don't know how much they cost, though. I doubt they're cheap.

some 17s may be lightweight but its rotational diameter will still be bigger than stock... i wouldn't go more than 16s unless its a show car...
