i can't answer above, but i have a set of jongbloed and profil 10 for cayman s.
identical size, but jongbloed is definitely lighter and cheaper. perhaps you want to add that to the list.

Three Wheelin'
They are all very close, I think the HRE is the lightest but is it realy worth the 1lb or so a wheel saved?
I would think going with the wheel that you would like the best, for strength, fitment, looks and price,
oh and of course resale value.

I had a set of BBS Racing with Magnesium Centers 8.5"/11": 20# F / 22# R
I've a set of 996TT Hollow Spokes 8"/11": 22# F / 26# R
I've a set of CCW Corsair 1-piece 10"/12": 23# F / 24# R
Unfortunately, SSR doesn't make the centers for Porsche. Their 18"x8.5" weighs 16# and their 18"x11" weighs 19.5#. That's 13# lighter than the BBS Racing Wheels.
The Volk TE37 on 18"x8.5" weighs 16#.
I've seen quite a few race teams running the Fikse Profil 5s

Any experience with the strenght of the Volks on a P-Car?
They worked quite well on Hondas I had but those were sub 2500lbs cars (with a lot less power)

I would say Champion Or Fikse. Call Wheel Enhancement, John can give you an answer.
FWIW, the Champion RG5's on my 996 (in GT3 Sizes) weigh less than 20lbs per wheel (yes that is both fronts and rears!!).

Wow, Dead-Eye those are light but expensive.
My Champion RG5's are 8.5x18 ET45 and 11.0x18 ET65. They are forged (very strong) and weigh 19.2 and 19.9 lbs respectively.
