Hi,

just had a look via the search function, so the info is 2nd hand.

The Champions are approx 89 lbs total, and the HRE are approx 94 lbs total.

You can use the GT3RS wheel i believe which i think is slightly heavier than both above.

There is a huge amount of info on wheels for the 911 turbo. I looked into getting the Champion RS171, but the warranty would become invalid here in Dubai.

Rgds.

I have both.

My P43's are in satin black powdercoat and I really like the finish. One has a tiny little scuff and it just about impossible to match with touch-up though.

My RS171's are painted gloss black. The finish is a less durable but is a real breeze to touch-up.

Both are great wheels. I like the RS171's because it seems like they almost disappear and you just see brakes. I really like the symmetry of the P43's. It will be a tough decision!

Here are a couple of photos of the RS171's's. I purchased them from Wheel Enhancement and received top notch service.



I do not have decent shots of the P43's, but they look good too.

I think 171s look the best on a turbo.
