I agree with that but they generally weigh slightly less than their cast counter parts all the time. I guess I was just surprised by those figures, considering forged + Porsche.

Anywho, sweet looking wheels and enjoy.

Interesting that now that we have been having this discussion I have been checking on line and some sources are saying 24 lbs front and 27 lbs rear...not sure what these weight anymore.

I'm pretty sure that is more inline. 24/27 sounds right for factory forged. I mean even their cast wheels aren't 34 lbs. I'm not sure how you got the 34lb figure initially.

Thanks...not sure where I got that figure either. Although these same style wheels are available on the aftermarket, I try my best not to buy knock offs of anything.....no offense to the Chinese, of course.

My view is that any knock off is not a good buy...whether it be for patent infringement or potential crappy quality.

Actually come to think of it, the aftermarket copycat cast version of these wheels are probably 34lbs. Maybe that's where you got it mixed up from. That sounds about right for copycat cast 19" rims. I had copycat 19" lobster claws that were around that weight.
