These are Manthey-BBS wheels. Very, very light. You can have them with a Manthey Motorsports crest or these center locks look a likes. Drving really changes, with such a low sprung weight, both from the wheels and the brakes The car becomes more nervous, but points like crazy. Perfect. One can feel however the trade off in the straights. Steering becomes also more sensitive to the imperfections on the road. I like it this way.

how much do they weigh (and can the center-loc sections be removed)? I did not get PCCB's on the GT3 but did on the RS and will be looking for some weight reductions

that 42 plus the 60 or so for the seats and the 40 for the A/C delete on my RS equates to a nice diet plan of a bulky 140 lbs

These are 19" wheels, front are 9,0x19 at 8.3kg (18.3lb) and rear are 11,5x19 at 9.2kg (20.3lb) and are forged magnesium. In the site they are said to save app. 12kg (26.4lb) in sprung weight compared to standard Porsche rims. Feels like more.
