I'm looking to replace the stock 18" Si wheels for lightweight 17"s. What's the best bang for the buck around $200 each?

What offset is recommended? Bolt pattern 5-114?

5x114.3 is correct.

+35 is going to look the best but you add 0.9lbs per corner

The other option is +45, which is still a little more aggressive than stock.

One other thought. Why not get 18" lightweight flow formed wheels and use the stock Si tires?

And yes 235/45 is perfect for the 17's.

17"s have more sidewall, so potentially better ride quality and slight curb rash protection. Honestly though, I hate the look of huge rims :p

Rpf1 is little over 200. 17” Hypergrams look even smaller than rpf1.
Also, pay attention to tirerack.com,
I got my 17” 17x8 35 oz alleggerita for only $114 a piece. (2014 production in white)

I have Enkei TS-5's | 17x9 +40 (not the lightest wheel sitting at 19.9lbs)... but since there arent many people running 17's on the 10th gen, here are some photos for tire reference.

I love that look! Thanks for sharing! No rubbing issues with a tire that wide?

Thanks!
I havent encountered any rubbing issues on daily driving (springs are settled as well) but you need to do the Tab mod on the front fenders. This setup can actually take +35 with no rubbing issues, but the wheels only came in two offsets of +45 & +40 (for 17x9). I also did the guide pin removal (just cause) which adds some slight camber for the front wheels. Great site to use is "will they fit" to compare sizes lol;). For example i based this setup off someone running 18x9 +35 - 255/35/18. its essentially the same diameter and width... I just just have less wheel and more tire, so in the end it worked out. Hope this helps!
