Do yourself a favor and go with the 17 x 9's. Are you running coilovers? If so, you'll need to get around a +20 or lower offset to use that size tire in the front. If you're making that kind of power, then 1.2 lbs per wheel is so negligible considering the wider track that the 9" wheel will give you. Put it this way, it's the difference between having 40 lbs/corner or 38.8 lbs/corner. And unless this is a dedicated track car, most of us would never be able to tell the difference.
