That's a big improvement! 21lbs unsprung is noticeable.

Does anyone know what the weights are for the stock 17" Cup wheels? (for future reference to gauge possible wheel upgrades in terms of unsprung weight)

Anyone have pics of the 997 18" or 19" five spoke wheels on a 993? There are a few on wheel enhancement but I'm looking for others.

Wow! Those Roock wheels look great, especially on a dark color car I think.

pcar964, yes the 21 lbs weight on the RS GT is quite noticeable compared to the solid spokes.

Was also referring to the total unsprung reduction (all four cornerscombined) of around 21lbs... nothing to sneeze at.

This white 993 has 19" 997 wheels on it. It looks awsome IMO.

I have those on my MY94 993 cab...agree w/ you that htey are heavy. The rivets also drive me crazy when they need cleaning...am thinking of switching to the MY02 5-spokes.
