Thank you for posting that info. What are the rim dimensions? Sizes might be printed on the rims themselves.

 

 

that is light for their size. that would make a difference in ride comfort.

I have those turbo wheels. I recently hit a hard-to-see pavement cut at a road repair site hard enough to put a snake-bit split in a front tire sidewall. Since the front tires were beyond their nominal 5 year life and had over 20,000 miles, I replaced them. I asked the tech to do a good inspection on all 4 wheels and the rear tires while he was at it. The wheels were fine. I was told here in the forum that the wheels being forged is probably why they were undamaged. I'm just repeating what was said here.

I don't know if they come in different sizes. Mine are 20".

 

Also, that weight seems a bit heavy for forged wheels?

Here are weights for the stock GTS 4.0 wheels and GT4 wheels (none of these are forged). I found these on Rennlist and haven't measured myself yet.

GTS 4.0
F: 23.2lbs
R: 25.6 lbs

GT4
F: 23.24 lbs
R: 25.86 lbs

 

The configurator images never have done these wheels justice. In person, they are very sexy-looking wheels.

 

That's useful, thanks. Essentially the turbo and standard 'Carrera S' 20" wheel are the same weight, but with the Turbo wheel like the Carrera Sport wheel you get an extra 1/2 inch extra width on both axles. This is likely to provide some useful additional grip with minimal weight penalty. The downside is I suppose they are easier to kerb being more protruding and being diamond cut more involved to repair. It would be interesting to know the weight of the other wider Carrera Sport wheel which unlike the turbo is neither forged nor diamond cut.

Be careful - all of the GTS 4.0 wheels are 8.5/10.5 including the standard 718 Sport wheels (weights in Post #7) which are 10 spoke and get confused with the Carrera S wheels available for the Base, Style and S models.

Just make sure that you are discussing the correct wheels as the names can be very confusing.

The Base, S and Style editions have these 20" choices:

• Carrera S (10 spoke), widths 8 & 10
• Carrera Sport (5 spoke), 8.5, 10.5
• 911 Turbo, 8.5, 10.5

The Style also has available 718 Cayman GT4 wheels, widths unspecified.

The GTS 4.0 has the following choices:

• 718 Sport (10 Spoke), 8.5, 10.5
• Carrera Sport (5 spoke), 8.5, 10.5
• 911 Turbo, 8.5, 10.5
