Any idea what is the weight difference between 997 GT2 wheels vs BBS FI?

WTF are you talking about? They are the lightest wheels on the market made by the most reputable manufacturer in Europe, from they motorsport team and cost 5000euro. Is that overpriced?
What about the HEAVIER C/F wheels which cost $10k, even those are not overpriced

Milou, I enclosed pic someone posted on rennteam. Not the best shot, but should give you an idea:
HN-GT2997, congrats. If you like the look, this is the "best" wheel on the market right now, all things considered. If they indeed keep the price below 7000, it will be a home run.

Impressive weight. Great manufacturer. Just can't get myself to like the looks of it yet. Why won't they make a version of the BBS wheels we see on ALMS RSR's and cup cars in a street version?
