I've looked in all the weight threads and noted that they are lighter, but no one has offered a difference between the big reds, and the yella's.

So if the OEM disk weighs 23.4lbs thats 93.6 LBS total, so the PCCBs would save you 46.8 Lbs if Porsche's claim is correct.

I read that they are 47 lbs lighter than stock so that sounds about right?

Sweet. I had heard that was per wheel at one point, so I had to check it up. 47 alltogether makes more sense.
