Solid Spoke Turbo Twist Weight?
I'm considering a set of Forgestar F14 for my 2001 996TT.
Wondering what the unsprung weight savings might be vs. my solid spoke twists.
F14 18x8.5 is about 19 lbs.
F14 18x11 is about 22 lbs.
I'm guessing my solid OEM twists are 25 lbs up front and 30 lbs rear. Does that sound right?

Thanks for the confirmation.
My OEM wheels weigh about 115 lbs -- 120 lbs or so including four 15mm spacers.
Forgestars would be about 80 to 85 lbs. Spacers not required since offsets are custom.
So, 35 to 40 lbs unsprung weight reduction... That's meaningful.

Look at http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php
996.362.142.01 Turbo look II (BBS) in 11 wide w/45 mm offset are 14.5 kg x 2.2 = 31.9 lbs. Yikes!
