Don't even bother. That's what I have on my 'street' wheels. I've done a few track weekends on them and many, many autocrosses. They SUCK DONKEY BALLS! Just don't even waste your time. Just get another set of wheels now and put some decent street tires on them (TW ~150-200). Then when they go you should be ready for R's. All depends on if both of you intend to double whore the car, then you might want to run through 2 sets street tires.
I had the same problem finding 17x9's that were both light and cheap. About the best I could do was 21.5 lbs and there were only 2 wheels that fit that, real 95 cobra r's and the Konig's that I got (the steeda ul are made by konig).
