Default Hollow or Solid twists

Can anybody tell me if these wheel codes are from Hollow Twist wheels or Solid Twists? I checked Pelican but it doesn't say. What is weight difference between the wheels?

993 362 134 06 on the fronts
993 362 140 04 on the rears

Default Solid spoke

I have a front wheel off my car right now and an 8x18 ET52 solid spoke turbo twist has part number 993 362 136 01.

993 362 134 06 on the fronts
are 7.5 w solid spoke, usually about 25.5 lbs and about 5lbs heavier than hollow
993 362 140 04 on the rears
are 10 w solid spoke, usually about 30 lbs and about 6lbs heavier than hollow

Table was helpful. Thanks. So these rims are quite a bit heavier than my cup IIs.

The solid spoke 7.5x18 with part number ending 06 are actually standard early 996 wheels, not 993. Both hollow and solid spoke fronts should be 8x18.

Bit more info on the standard 993 fit 18" wheels:

The genuine 'Technology' hollow spoke wheels were available in both normal and wide body offsets as option 408. Here are the specs :

8x18 ET52 (Front - all models) .......993.362.136.00 weight 19.95 lb
10x18 ET65 (Rear - narrow body)......993.362.140.01 - 23.36 lb
10x18 ET40 (Rear - wide body) ......993.362.140.00 - 25.13 lb

Making a good comparison to Turbo Look (solid spoke) as came standard on the Carrera 4S or as option 413 :

8x18 ET52 (Front - all models) .......993.362.136.01 - 25.57 lb
10x18 ET65 (Rear -narrow body) ......993.362.140.04 - 29.32 lb
10x18 ET40 (Rear - wide body) ......993.362.140.03 - 31.08 lb
