Why not Fuchs Evolution wheels? Authentic Otto Fuchs forged Fuchs wheels available in 15" - 19" diameters, including, for your use case, in 17" x 7" / 8" / 9" options.
The 17x7s weigh just ~3.3 lbs more than your current 16x7s.
The 17x9s weigh just ~1.6 lbs more than your current 16x9s.
I'm a BIG fan of their offerings. I have two sets of their 7 & 9 x16s for my M491s. I'll likely end up with a set of 8 & 9 x 16s once they release the Et 23.3 951 8" wheel.
I also have a set of 993 offset 8 & 10 x 18s for a 993 that I don't even own yet. They are lighter than the factory hollow-spoke wheels! As an aside, you know you have a problem when you have parts for cars you don't even own yet.
Also, do you want bigger tires for the aesthetics? If not, there are some STICKY tires available in the original sizes these days. Yokohama A052s come to mind.
