Default need inspiration for wheels

Having a hard time deciding what I like... so far, i know that I like the look of ASA r1's, I'd love to go black with the lip, but silver is probably more practical and better looking.

I'm gonna probably be asking plenty of q's since buying rims for a car is so much more complicated than for my motorcycles. So easy with a bike, just buy Performance machine rims and order um with your bikes hub.

Couple questions

1. How much do stock ap1 wheels weigh? I wanna know what I'm gaining or losing

2. I'm lowered 1" on skunk2's, how will this affect required parameters like offset and such?

3. Anyone got pics of some sebrings wearing aftermarket rims? I wanna get an idea of what's out there and what I like/do not like.

4. I don't really wanna do anything major to the car like cutting or rolling, so please steer me in the direction of offsets and rims that will work with the 1" lowering, and I'm hoping to get a pretty flush look.

5. hoping to move up to 17", but please present arguments pro and against this. Also, any comments on 18's will be welcome.

Thanks guys sorry for the newb questions, just getting back into the car scene.

good to know. the only info I had was the skunk website and I saw it said 1" there on the only lowering springs available for the s. I'm sure it says something in the paperwork file for my car, but all my maintenance records and the receipt for that one mod (the only not stock thing on the car) are in the trunk and the car is in storage in VA until I can get it titled, licensed and start my drive cross country.

Worst feeling in the world, driving 7 hours to look at an s (and 8 hours back) buying an s and then sticking it in storage and having to wait 2 months to drive it! Oh well only 36 more days....
