Is this North American 17" wheel the one that weighs 24 lbs?

So even a very lightweight 19" wheel (say 20lbs) will perform worse then a 24lb 16" wheel because the 16" wheel may be heavier, but the weight is closer to the center, and thus much easier for the car to turn.

Well that sux, but I still want 19s. They just look soooooooo good.

Has anyone put 17's on a car other than the stock wheel. I think it just kills the car to put such conservative looking wheels on it. I'd like to find a nice looking but practical alternative to the 18's.
