Also, for anyone looking, there's an ad in the most recent Excellence for Brumos Porsche selling a set of 996 hollow spokes for $1500.

Wheel weights for OEM porsche wheels can be found here, and carrera 5 spoke wheel is pretty light.
Edit.
You can find a picture of a white C2 coupe with carrera 5 spoke wheels on this page of the random picture thread

I chose these wheels mainly for weight and practicality and put my speedlines into storage.They are a bit kerbed and corroded but
my next plan is to paint ( or powdercoat ? ) them black, should look nice with Horizon Blue.Not sure what shade of black to use - any suggestions?

I was thinking of using the 996 hollow spoke turbo twists and also painting black...I think to do a satin as opposed to a glossy is the way to do...maybe even something closer to flat w/a clear coat.
