Stock Wheel Weights

Does anyone have the weights for the standard OEM Turbo II hollow spoke wheels and the Sport Techno wheels? I may be orce3ring a 2004 and prefer the looks of the techno wheels, just want to make sure they're not heavier.

Actually, the Sport Techno wheels are lighter than the stock hollow spoke turbo wheels. The Techno's are also hollow spoke. You'll need 25mm spacers (includes bolts, etc.) for the rear Techno wheels to be used in a wide-body application, which will add about 2 lbs per rear wheel.

Below is a comparison of weights (w/o factoring in the spacers):
Stock Turbo wheels -- front ~22lbs / Rear ~26lbs
Sport Techno wheels -- front ~21lbs / Rear ~25.5lbs

Im not sure about the Technos needing spacers since they are offered for the Turbo as a factory option.

Jas, the Technos require spacers. The same Techno wheels are used on both narrow bodies and wide bodies, with the widebody cars requiring spacers.
