Great looking wheels on some great looking cars! I read this whole thread and have noticed the weights are all over the map. Keep in mind that the accuracy of a weight measurement is related to where it lies in the range of the scale(do to the load cell that feeds the measurement to the meter) The most accurate readings will be in the 50 percent range of full scale. So for a 17 to 19 pound load a 50 pound scale would be the best way to measure. I noted one weigh in here on a 250 pound scale. The target is less then 10 percent of full range. That reading and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee. So anyone out there have a set of wheels and access to a 50 pound scale? It would be nice to get some real numbers.....

The TSW website lists the weight of 17X9 Nurburgring as 19.2 lbs.

The 17x9 was noticeably lighter than the ap2v2 front wheel in my hands. That's as far as I got as to weighing them

Those wheel sizes should be perfect. I would personally recommend 225/45 on the front to keep the diameter the same as the rear, and to give you a little more grip. It'll preserve the front/rear width ratio from the factory a little better too.
