Default Porsche seat and wheel weight database?

Is there a list/database for weights for each Porsche model? I'd like to know the difference between S4 sports; stocks; 996 and GT3 sports.

No problemo. Somebody else posted another link in the past week or two, but I don't remember in which wheel thread it was.

I have a somewhat more elaborate question in the same direction here:
My dad has the ugly *** sewer lids and is in desperate need of new rims, he doesn't care though.
We're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him, so I'm interested in the rotational inertia and mass of 16 inch sewer lids. Does anybody have an idea? And if possible approximate values of the matching tires too.
This is so that we can whip up a calculation about how much his 0-60 time would decrease with lighter rims

The 16/7 Phone Dial Wheel with 225/50 Kumho Exta Supra weighs exactly 45 pounds.

Unfortunatley, the sewer lids are forged, very strong and relatively light...actually a good wheel..albieit not a beauty queen.....gonna be tough to find a cheap, lighter and stronger wheel to beat them....

GT3 seats weigh approx 6.5 kgs, you can buy copies on Ebay for $1500 per set, they may not have race approval though.
