Club Sport or D90's?
I can't figure out which wheels these are. The PO threw them in for free when I bought my car and I can't figure out if they're the Club Sport or D90 wheels. I read about a test where you can flick them with your finger and if they ring, then they're the forged Club Sport wheels. If they make a thunk then they're the cast D90's. I don't know how accurate this test is, or if it's total BS, but when I flicked them with my finger they rang. Here are some crappy cellphone pictures:

Damn. I was hoping they were Club Sports. Does anyone know how much they might be worth? There are a few small scratches and some very slight curb rash on them. I've seen them go for $125-1000+ in the same condition as mine so I'm not sure what to ask for them.

Look at contour where the spokes attach to the rims. The finish is also different - D90s are painted, Club Sports are anodized, which looks like bare aluminum.
I have never felt the Club sports are very light. I doubt they are much lighter than the pressure cast D90's. Maybe a little, but they are not significantly lighter like Fuchs or the magnesium turbo cup phone dials are.

They are about 1-1/2 to 2 lbs lighter per wheel depending on width. The easy way to tell the difference is that the CS have a scribed line around the outer spoke area.
btw the CS were also made by Fuchs so they have the fox logo on the inside just like regular Fuchs.

I was referring to the traditional 911 black centered 5 spoke forged wheels as a "fuchs" wheel. Those are relatively light.
My 9x16 club sports are approx 3.6 lbs heavier than std alum 8x16 phone dials.
W/ a 245/45/16 toyo RA1 mounted, the 9x16 Club Sport weighs 48.0 lbs. To compare, a 9x16 mag cup phone dial w/ a 245/45/16 R6 weighs 39.8 lbs, and a BBS E50 10x17 w/ a 275/35/17 R6 also weighs 39.8 lbs. R6s are lighter than RA1s, but a considerable part of the combined weight difference is the Club Sport wheel.
I have never owned a set of D90's to compare, but if they are 1.5-2 lbs heavier than Club sports, they should only be used for boat anchors.

8x16 Fuchs = 19 lbs (or less depending on offset)
8x16 PDial = 20 lbs app
8x16 CSport = 21 lbs app
8x16 D90 = 22 lbs app
Here is some old but useful data on wheel/tire weights:
