New member and a wheel question..

Hello everyone,
This forum is great. I recently got a 2008 Carrera (gift from my wife). It is black with 18" factory wheels and has halogen headlights. I want to get a set of Porsche factory 19" Turbo (2010 Turbo style) wheels (picture included). Does anyone know the actual weights of these forged wheels in below sizes?
19x8" ET57
19x11" ET67

Thanks.

just to reiterate what was stated above, please please please, make sure youre buying OEM turbo 2 wheels if you want a forged wheel. the link below is a good place to start looking. the wb turbo rear wheels will fit on your carrera. i have them on my car.

ps- your wife sounds like a very generous lady!

Thank you all for the excellent answers,
So these stock turbo wheels will weigh about 23lbs fronts and 27lbs rear
Front - Rims: 8 x 19 57mm - Suggested Tires: 235/35 ZR19
Rear - Rims: 11 x 19 67mm - Suggested Tires: 295/30 ZR19
Can I fit 305/30 ZR19 tire on the back of my Carrera (using 11 x 19 67mm Wheel)?

I am also checking these Victor Inssbruck Wheels (TSW). They are not forged but has very attractive weight specs on them (lighter than the above Turbo wheeels):
19x8 19.8lbs
19x11 23.0lbs
Any thoughts on these?
