How much do these weigh?
#1

I'm looking around for some track wheels and these are on the list.
I think they are called "996 Cup" and they certainly came of a 996 cab and are genuine Porsche, made by BBS I believe.
18 x 8 ET 50mm
18 x 10 ET 65mm

I can't find out how much they weigh. Anyone here know?

Thanks.
Ian

they look like sport classic or sport classic 2 - about 30lbs in an 18x10 SC2

I don't think they are Sport Classic 2's. The bolts are in a different position to these wheels (see image below cf one above). I think SC's were 17s. SC2s are surprisingly heavy, as Flask says 13.2 kg = 29 lb for the 18 x 10

To my eye, those three wheels are all slightly different. The cut out for the valve is different, and the way the curve of the wheel passes over the lug nut holes is different. Maybe it's just model year changes...

18" (same Sizes and offsets as you posted) 996 wheels weigh 20.5lbs front & 22.7lbs rear. However, the wheels you posted are not the standard 996 wheels. So i'm not sure what the diff. in weight would be.

The Rear wheel for the standard 996 wheel is actually lighter then my 993 Hollow Spoke's (however, the fronts are slightly heavier)
