Thx for the info Alan! Not bad at all.

Anything lighter out there?
If you're talking about the BBS RS-GT's, according to Tire Rack's website they weigh 23 pounds (19x8.5) & 24.4 pounds (19x11). Too bad BBS doesn't make an RGR (the one-piece version of the RS-GT's) application for the 911 since those are even lighter.

Here are some lighter wheels in 19's:

Kinesis F110's - around 19-20 pounds & I don't know if they're discontinued due to it being sold to that bling bling wheel company

HRE Competition wheels (C20, C21 & C21) - I think around 20-22 pounds

A couple Champion wheels - I think around 19-21 pounds

Volk TE37 - They only make them in 18's for P-cars though. Around 18-19 pounds

Last but not least (off the top of my head) & my favorite on a 911...

Sport Technic Mono 10 Super Light's - 18.48 pounds (19x8.5) & 20.24 pounds (19x11)

I'm sure I left out a couple wheels so if anyone else can post that'd be great! Hope that helps!

After looking at the offsets from Tire Rack's website (for the BBS RS-GT's), I didn't realize the offsets were so high. There goes a big lip I guess.

Those wheels are same weight as my 997S stock wheels, I agree with all of you guys they look good on no Turbo. I also know HRE wheels came up with the new series 590R for 11X19 (since is 3-piece you can offset any size you want) ~18 pounds.

I've had them on two 997S's, white and now meteor...love 'em and it's probably the only option that differenciates the car as an 07.

The turbo wheels even get better looking on a lowered car. I am interested to know what size spacers you guya are using on a C4s? I have 7mm in the rear.

I have RS-GTs and they have plenty of lip - I'd guess 3.5-4"... Also they are lighter than what you posted. The fronts are 21 lbs and the rears are 24 lbs.

I love them to death!!! Plus the diamond black finish is a perfect match for Seal Gray.
