Wheel weights are 26-lbs front and 29-lbs rear.

They are very close in factory solid Turbo Twist wheels.

The rears are approx 20mm (.78") out further than OEM, any issues with rubbing on 2004 996 coupe?

They are very pretty, but a little too heavy for my taste. I would love to find a light, strong, good looking 18" wheel for a narrow body 996 for a reasonable price. I have a feeling it's one of those "You can have it cheap, strong and light, choose any two" type of things.

You answered "yes sir" to my question about rubbing, are you saying they will or will not? also, what size tire was used on the photo car if they will not rub? entrusted in the vintage look.

Nice wheels; Looks like these have similar weights as the OEM GT3 MK2 wheels. Cheers,
