Default Another wheel question

I'm ready to buy some wheels now. From the info I've gathered, the offset on the stock 17" wheels is 45mm. The wheels I've been looking at are the Steeda Pentars 18x9.5 (first pic), which have an offset of 45mm. Problem is they weight 29 lbs each, that's a little much IMO. The only similar wheel I've found are the TSW Indy 500 18x9.5 (second pic). I also like the TSW Montage 18x9.5 (third pic). TSW does not list the Indy 500 wheel in their application guide for our cars, they also don't list any offsets for them. I'm leaning towards 18x9.5 wheels with 275/40/18 tires in all 4 corners (so I can rotate regularly), just not sure what offset I need to get.Any help appreciated.

I just found something on ebay stating the tsw indy wheels have a 40mm offset. Will this fit in the front and rear? And not stick out past the fender>?

The third rim in the original post looks like the new 5-spoke saleens rims. I don't know how much they weigh, but don't chrome rims always weigh a lot more than non-chrome?

I like Pentars.

EDIT: Here are the Saleen rims.
