Does anybody know - what is an exact weight of those 19" rims?

Nice looking wheels. If they made these in a 18 inch version, I would probably get them for my winter setup.

They look nice. So inexpensive for BBS that they might be cast instead of forged. I would guess they are somewhat heavy. Pure speculation on my part though so it's time to call TR and see what they say.

Very nice wheel

I like the looks of it, stock wheels are about that weight in a 19 aren't they?

Lobsters are a tad lighter but only 19X8 vs. the 19X8.5.

Isn't 23.9 lbs for the front a little heavy? I can't imagine what the rears would weigh...

The Carrera S wheels, aka Lobster Claws, size 8 x 19 weigh 22 lbs 4 oz , 11 x 19 weigh 27 lbs 12 oz and are some of the lightest OEM wheels available.

For right at the sme price you can get a set of CCW FORGED wheels, lighter, stronger, better! Those BBS in your link are just a cast wheel, not really anything performance about them.

for a cast wheel, I prefer these wheels...much cheaper than CH-R and weigh slightly less too.

My choice is based on aesthetics. There is nothing wrong with a well made cast wheel. If I was looking for a track set up I would buy the strongest and lightest wheel possible and would not pay much attention to how it looked. IMHO, the CH-R's are a good looking street wheel.

I know, but I like the looks.

For racing I will get simple OZ allegeritas. They look quite ugly but I think they will work as good as CCW for a fraction of a price and they are as light as they could be. I just hoped those BBS would be lighter than my current rims but it does not seem to be much of a difference. But they do look nice.

Yes for looks only those cast BBS are nice, no doubt about it...I was just giving you all another option to think about.

Agree that they look phenomenal for the price. I wonder if they will do a Satin Black? It's going to take me less time to save up for these than P40's.
