Check out OZ Superforgiatta from tire rack. Also HRE p101s, champion magnesium wheels, and I believe GMG makes a lightweight wheel as well.

Zybane is on a distinguished road
My favorite by far are HRE P101's. They are lightweight and best looking wheel IMO.

Is that the white gold color?

To the OP: the answer is simple. Either get HRE p101 or some SC line HRE, GT2 RS OEM wheels, or the new BBS f1. There is a thread in the 991 turbo section on them. The bbs are the lightest out of all of these.

I do not think BBS F1 available as CL. I'd go with OEM GT2 RS wheel as nos 1 choice as they are amazingly cheap in comparison to HRE P101 or BBS (teile.com have sets for sale usually) etc and other high end wheels. I do like the GMG LMS style wheel in CL as they're pretty original. I also like the GMG WC GT stye wheel in CL configuration.

Get some monoblock CS's from ADV.1. You can choose any style you want and they have this new CS line that is engineered for the curb weight of the specific car's weight. No way to get a lighter, concave wheel than these...

Here's an example they did for a 458 Speciale: http://www.adv1wheels.com/blog/the-j...roject-update/

Got them noticeably lighter than the OEM magnesium wheels.

Here is an example... not my favorite style but it's certainly what i'm ordering up in about a month for the GTR.

I've only seen GT2 RS wheels for 10k+. Post a link on tiele where they are cheaper.

The new BBS F1 wheel is available in CL. As I said a member here has a thread on them. He is apparently the first to get them in the US.

I like ADV.1 but there are a lot of horror stories about their wheels breaking.
