No one ever answered the OP.
Half of the answer is that the OEM BBS MY02s
8x18: 8.9kg
10x18: 10.4kg

anyone know what the Italian replicas weigh?

Italian reps weigh ~23/25lbs. Great looking wheel for a street car. I bought a set with tires that was 500mi old for $900 on eBay. Used reps don't hold their value and can be bought cheap.

Just a data point, but I have a cracked OEM Cup II sitting in my attic. One of the wheel refinishers told me they had seen several of the 9" wide CIIs get cracked.

I am looking for 996 5 spoke OEM light weight BBS wheels for my 993. How do you verify the rims are OEM and the lightweight BBS kind? thanks!

The factory parts have the off set cast in the metal near the valve opening.
