I am sure Dan (the owner of Augment Wheel) can give you weights.

I've searched the forum for answers to my questions and haven't found what I'm looking for.
I've been wanting to back-date my 1990 C4 with some Fuch wheels. I understand that 16 inchers would have to be custom-made and most likely via Harvey Weidman out of Oroville. I've been led to believe that wait times can be prohibitive. I really like the feel of my current 16 inchers on my local roads, which have the occasional potholes and such, but I also understand that the availability of 16-inch Fuchs and lessening availability of 16-inch tires may force my having to go to 17 inchers.

As the original poster, I wanted to provide an update and bring this thread full-circle. I finally got my Fikse ZFs the other day, put Michelin PS2s on them, and installed the wheels onto my 1990 C4. I'm super pleased with how they turned out. Some numbers for you guys: I put on 17x7.5 on the front and 17x9.0 on the back. The weights are as follows: 7.5 inch rim only is 17.5 pounds, with tire is 39.8 pounds. 9.0 inch rim only is 18.8 pounds, with tire is 43.0 pounds. Tires are Michelin PS2 225s up front, 255s in rear. The fit and quality of the rims are excellent, with only one lamentation thus far... the lug nut holes are too small to accomodate the OEM Porsche wheel lock set. The special socket tool that is used for locking lug nuts won't fit the small hole, thus rendering the lock set unuseable. The other caveat for inquiring minds is that my order took 20 weeks to deliver...way off of the advertised 8-10 weeks. Brant Gladstone at Fikse was a pleasure to deal with, and aside from the long wait, I'm stoked to have these new wheels...I've been jonesing for them for at least eight years now!

@August West the wheels look fantastic, clearly worth the wait.
On another note...
Hope you're not stumbling round drunk on Burgundy wine. With... the good lord willing your back on your feet.
My best to Bonnie Lee. I know she's been, I am sure she's been true to you.
