Wheel weight question
Does anyone know which wheels are lighter - OEM hollow spoke turbo twists or sport techno's?

Also, are the sport techno's hollow?

Hollow Spoke Sport Techno
18x8 = 9.4kg
18x11 = 11.9

Hollow Spoke Turbo Wheel
18x8 = 9.65kg
18x11 = 11.9

No Problem, Its pretty suprising that the sport technos actually weight less than the plain turbo wheels...

There is solid spoke and hollow spoke.

Solid spoke came on early model 01's and all c4s's. The rest of the turbo's got hollow spoke, which is suppose to be like 25% lighter.

Yea, they look heavier, but I was told they were lighter. I have a spare set and was wondering. Once you add the rear spacers, they are probably identical.
