Nice! Exactly how many lbs lighter than stock? More pics please

The WEC RSR wheels are 13kg lighter than stock RS wheels, BUT double the price LOL!

Easily my favorite wheel for the GT3 platform. Wonder if something similar will be made for the GT4.

And as GMG mentioned to me, the forthcoming Trofeo R rubber is lighter too. Would make quite the combo

I just got BBS FI-Rs for my GT3... 17.4 lbs Front and 20.5 lbs Rear for a total of about 26lbs less than stock GT3 wheels. Excuse the poor quality iPhone photos...

I am too much of an introvert to drive a red car, but OMG that thing looks amazing in red.

Perfection. The only worthy "upgrade" to the already awesome stock wheels. You want light AND strong wheels. FI-Rs, I would hazard a guess, r markedly stronger than the factory wheels. Best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing, GMG.

26 pounds of unsprung, rotating weight removed is no joke.

Still one of my favorites

That's really good news. Manthey Racing told once in an article that unsprung rotating weight is equivalent up to six times the amount of sprung weight.
