Been looking around for the lightest OEM wheels. At the moment I have the 18" turbo twist and the wheel weight is 22.1kg at front and 25kg at the rear. After searching I found that going for the 10 spoke 996 17" with 225/45R17 in front and 255/40R17 at the rear would shave close to 4kg per wheel. Would like to hear from someone who is already running this what you think?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

i just bought (from a fellow rennlister) this exact wheel for my 2001 c4 for these reasons and I like this style. 205-50 is what Tire Rack states as their spec for the fronts. So that differs a bit from what you have listed but I don�t have any expertise as to whether that difference matters to the differentials.

Should not as both are 25" diameter.
