Anyone know what the weight of the forged-one piece 21" 911 Turbo Design II wheels is and how much less they may weigh over the 21" alloy wheel options? On my f type, switching, to forged wheels made a noticeable difference in handling. Saved about 8-10 lbs per wheel depending on if fronts or rears. Not sure if it would make a difference on the Panamera.

Might be a hard thing to discern on a 4500 pound car. But attention to detail is always important.

I don't know but I have 2 sets of Porsche Exclusive Design wheels for my Panamera. One set 21" and one set 20". It's remarkable how heavy they are. I agree on such a heavy brick of a car I am not sure you will discern the change in unsprung weight.

I have the 21” exclusive design, they are heavy like a boat anchor.

Front wheel + tire (pirelli) = 63.2 lbs
Rear wheel + tire (pirelli) = 69.5 lbs

I also have 19” set for the winter, also from BBS

Front wheel + tire (Michelin pilot alpin) = 56.5 lbs; wheel only = 27.4 lbs
Rear wheel + tire (Michelin pilot alpin) = 62.6 lbs; wheel only = 30.4 lbs


Unless OP can find some really nice forged wheels, the stock offerings from Porsche is not going to make a huge difference, especially in the 21” size.

The two 911 wheel offerings indicate they are one piece forged. They are at the more costly end of the choices, but look better than others imo. Was hoping to get some added benefit. Jaguars 20 " inch oems were 32-34 lbs, wheels only. The custom two piece forged I switched them out for were 22-24 lbs, so a nice reduction. As said here, even if they are a total of 40 lbs. may not be noticeably different.

I would expect the ride quality to improve with the lighter wheel. The combined weight of the brake rotor, wheel and tire is crazy.

How about the weight of panamera base 18" wheels?
