Ok guys, here is the infomation I gathered. For OEM wheels, the 02 Carrera 5 spoke is the lightest. Where is the weight for each style:

Turbo Twist solid: 24lbs front, 30lbs rear
Turbo Twist Hollow: 24lbs front, 26lbs rear
04 GT3: 22lbs front, 27lbs rear
05 19" 5-spoke: 22lbs front, 27lbs rear
02 18" 5-spoke: 19lbs front, 23lbs rear

So now... anyone wanna sell me your 02 5-spoke?? =D
