OK, ordered a set of wheels. I've been going around in circles for awhile now on this. Just not sure completely what problem I was trying to solve I suppose. I had to break down and just start writing notes as different websites would have different amounts of information. Then also having to keep track of who had free shipping and who didn't, and who I could save on shipping by driving 100 miles...
I had two different inexpensive sets of wheels ordered and waiting on the submit button when I did some more checking using the part numbers of some slightly more expensive wheels. Who'd have thought Walmart has the best prices on wheels?
Business is becoming weird in the modern era. I was thinking matte bronze would look a bit nicer than flat black ( maybe it doesn't though, we'll see ) and they didn't have that, but they did indicate the actual seller of the wheels which isn't really Walmart. So I went to that site and bought them and they cost about the same ( $0.50 difference ) after I found a somewhat obscure discount code.
What I've landed up with is Motegi Racing MR131 17x8 40offset in 5x 114.3 at 17.7 lbs.

Lee, that Team Dynamics wheel looks really good. Being able to order the offset you want is nice. It's possible that different offset front and rear makes sense for our cars because of clearance at the rear and getting a good scrub at the front.
Horchoha I like the Diamond wheels and spent a long time on their site. I may well do that when I decide to go for slicks. I thought I might want to be able to have two ride heights, one for street and one for track, so will go for 15" for track wheels someday once this is on the road.
