Default Rims - Any lightweight forged 18" which look like the

stock 17" cup rims. Car would look better imo, and I want lighter rims and brake discs.

No idea, suggest you contact them direct. I've only ever seen a couple of cars in continental Europe with them fitted. Not sure about a UK or US distributor..........

Those look like 19"s and look good.

What I'm trying to achieve is what I did with my Audi - put in forged MTMs, which are DTM style rims. I like the clean look, and not a fan of 2 or 3 piece rims.

Not sure how to post pics, but this is on AudiWorld.

These forged items at 19" came in almost 10 lbs lighter than the OEM 17"s.

Would anyone know what size the 964 RS rims are, and if they are significantly lighter? I would imagine so.

The 964 RS rims are 17", but are lighter as they're Magnesium and are as rare as rocking horse s**t!

These Ruf 18"s are cool. Anyone have them on?

Look lightweight - will check with Ruf about their weight.

Anyone have any idea how much the OEM 17" Cup 1s weigh?
