The lightest 16x7's I know of weigh in at 13.56 lbs and are made of spun aluminum. I can't think of any cast wheel that would be anywhere near that especially in a 17.
I agree with you completely, but since he is thinking of 17 or 18" wheels I assume he is going more for looks over performance.
You can find some pretty light 17's though. Centerline makes a very nice looking 17" wheel for the Focus which is very light (I think under 16lbs). Looks just about perfect for the car.
Sean Hyland also has a 17" wheel that looks very nice on the Focus and is fairly inexpensive.
