Default Wheel Weight | BC Forged KL12 | F:19x9 R:19x12

Weighed the wheels today and here are the results:

Front: 19x9.0 ET43 - 20.9 lbs
Rear: 19x12.0 ET53 - 22.9 lbs

After weighing the wheels I went to a shop to have the tires mounted and balanced. I was just supposed to drop them off as it was late in the day, but the tech suggested I stick around to wait for the fronts and knocked them off just before close. The rears will be ready tomorrow..

The front wheels are now on the car and I am very happy with the results, I will post some photos tomorrow when the rear wheels are on. In the meantime, here is a little iPhone photo teaser:

Some garage pics, please don't mind the mess, we just moved in December and I haven't been able to get to the garage organization yet. The front will still get a 1/4" drop and the camber needs to be adjusted. I may also lower the rear just a tad, I have not been able to look at the car from further away yet so it is hard to say what will look good.

What size are those rear tires? My 305/30 Michelin PSS look so much more stretched on the same spec 19x12 BC forged wheels.

Pirelli Pzero (Porsche OEM part numbers) 235/35R19 and 295/30R19, the Pzero is the factory Porsche tire and I think it has a much wider contact patch than the PSS.

+1 My Nitto Invos do too. I think I'm going to move to a 325 the next time on my 12" Forgeline rears.

The wheels look incredible. Great choice. The stance looks perfect.
