Weight?

Does anyone know the weight of the stock 2009 Carrera IIS Wheels?
Fronts? Rears?

Mrledzeppelin is infamous around these parts

I don't know the exact weight, but having changed tires, sensors and what not, having the wheels in my hands they felt about the same as most 997 Carrera wheels. I'll see if I can dig it up at work.

Not to hijack the thead but......what is involved in changing sensors?

And....I will weigh mine when I have the tires off next week.
I have a new set for sale. My 1st reaction is they seem pretty light.....very clean design.....possibly an OZ wheel (for PorscheAG).

Sensors are easy to change/install. I just purchased a set from another member and installed them on my Champion rims, as I didn't want to remove them from my factory Carrera Sport wheels. It is very easy to either install new ones or swap existing from one set of rims to another.
