17's might fit, but unless someone has had the exact wheel you're interested on the car, you wouldn't know...2 wheels with the same diameter/width/offset can still have different spoke and inner shell shapes...one might clear and the other not.
A reasonably cheap and light option I can guarantee will work are the Enkei RS7's in 18x7.5...about 19.5 lbs and $149 each here:

Perfect for the front, but the offset/width would be a little funky for the rear.
I've got 19x9, 23 lb Konig Next's for the rear, but I'm not sure they're making them any more...I think I have the last 4 that discount tire had (and got them for $50/wheel)!
