Default What can you tell me about RH GT3 Rims

Can some one please tell me what these weight? I am looking at these In 8,5 fronts and 10 x 18 rear with 225/40 and 285/35 ZR 18 wheels. The price is right they are TUV approved so the quality should be good but if they weight a ton then I do not want them. Note I want to stick with Porsche type rims and I currently have 17 inch on my 2000 C4. Lastly although it does not show up yet I am a paid member with the 2 year membership. Thanks.

I hope the link works could not figure how to put the picture in.

Are those copies or genuine Porsche wheels?

They look similar to the Sport Design Porsche wheels (see link below), but they do appear to be slightly different, so they may NOT OEM wheels.

Can you email the the lister? Do you know anyone there in Germany that can write the "weight" question in German? If not, maybe you can PM Soulteacher who hangs out on the 997 Forum. I "think" (not sure) that he is fluent in German.

I can speak and write German (well let me say I can get by but perfect I am not) so I did ask the weight but he did not know since they are straight from the RH wheel factory ( I think these are made in either Germany or Italy and passed the TUV) and no they are not genuine Porsche GT3 rims but just look alike which is ok for me as long as they are not to heavy. I thank you all for the response but looks like they do not sell the RH rims in the states maybe I will email someone who bought them and ask.Thanks
