What is the difference between these turbo wheels?
I have two sets of wheel but I weighed the rear and they are the same weight but different design on back. Why? Both are for 996 Turbo and my orginal wheels are the hollow spoke. Are they two types of hollow spokes? Or are the weigh within 2-3lbs?

8.5" front, 12" rear with more agressive offset, also they are not hollow spokes.

Based on the weights I guess the Pilot sports are heavier than the Kumho?
