Retail for a full set of 18's will be around $4300 I think.

No specs on on weight, etc. I will post when I hear more.

why bother? For the reverse lip? Otherwise they don't seem very different at all. your supercups are more fitting for the year of the car. I'm sure someone would be happy to scoop yours up from you if you did decide to spend $4300 for a reverse lip.

Here is a side by side comparison of the original Kinesis SC and the new SC2R:

SC vs SC2R

In this picture you can see where the 'spokes' of the new center are longer and that the step in the lip is gone.

I personally like the 'Step Look'. It looks a lot more aggressive to me, then again, I haven't seen the SC2R mounted on a car.

I am sorry, I think there is a significant difference aside from the reverse lip. The center is now bigger than the older 17" center and that makes the biggest difference. I really like the new design and I think it was overdue. One of the few aftermarket wheels that doesn't look "aftermarket."

Here is my meager attempt at Photoshopping the new wheels onto a 993 RS:
