Is 18" SSR GT3 wheels lighter than the facotry TT wheels?

Is 18" SSR GT3 wheels or OZ Superleggera III lighter than the facotry TT wheels? My tires are almost gone, so I want to change the wheels & tires together. Any help will be appreciated.

The aftermarket wheel weights you will have to get from a dealer that sells them, as for the factory TT hollow spoke wheels, I do have the weights: Front 22lbs 2oz / Rear 26lbs 5oz , hope that helps you out.

Topdaytrader,

Do you have to use spacers or the SSR or OZ racing ? If so, what sizes ?

While not the lightest wheels for the Turbo, the factory hollows are relatively light. The SSR GT3's weigh in at 24 lbs front and 26.5 lbs rear, according to my contact at Tire Rack.
