Yes, I went with the STI C7. So far so good, but remember that the black accents are going to show scratches a little worse that the brushed part.

I love mine, I have the matte black HD2. STI makes some sweet wheels, I went with them to be different. EVERYBODY has 112s or 212s, it was time for some change...

The 12" HD1 (Rubiranch had some of these) is just under 10 lbs. The 12" C7's I bought are roughly 11 lbs. I've seen some 12" ITP rims (like the 212) listed round 14 lbs. So yeah, they are all heavier than the factory steel, but obviously quite a bit stronger.

What hurt me was the weight of the Big Horns. The gain in traction and comfort has been worth it to me, but there is no question that they are some heavy tires. Tough as nails so far though.
