That’s a huge difference. When I was looking at Cup 1 OEM vs replicas, I was given weights in the wrong units. When I see that big of a difference it makes me think units are getting mixed up.
The figures look probable to me. The original Fuchs are extremely light and their weight is correct. A OEM Cup1 17x9 ET 55 weighs in at 26lb/11,9 kg's.

Impressive. I had no idea the originals were that light. One more reason to like them!
A good wheel will weigh in under 20lbs. Genuine 15/16” fuchs are incredibly light. It’s too bad that Porsche started using heavier wheels for the late offset cars.
Here is a shot of my replica cup 1 wheels with 6mm front and 15mm rear spacers. Making them effectively 7.5” et46 and 9” et32. Camber is -1.4 front and -2 rear and sitting at rs height. The camber will allow for less offset than is usual. The offsets are surprising, but there is even some space left under the arches. No rubbing, or rolled fenders in the rear. The front only rubs on the inside rear of the well if I’m sliding and giving lots of opposite lock steering correction. In that instance, the suspension is compressed on the wheel that is turned outward. I try to minimize those instances

Yes, I love mine. The lack of mass can definately be felt. My car is more agile on 17" Fuchs than on original 16" D90´s with skinny tires.
(the Fuchs are actually substantially lighter than even the OE magnesium Cup1´s on the RS -92)
