Cayenne 17" wheels

Anyone tried the stock 17" Cayenne wheels on their Boxster?
They're 17x7.5 front and rear
Was thinking of running them with 235/40/17 tires (also front & rear)
Offsets seem to be correct (ET53)
Have no idea how heavy they are...

I would guess they are extra heavy. Maybe good for winter tires.

It would be interesting to find out how heavy they are - that design would look really good on a Boxster, plus there's a lot of Cayenne wheels for sale.
I don't know about widths availability plus the offsets on those particular wheels look wrong.

Anyone know approx weights & offsets compared with Porsche road only wheels?

Did some more searching
These wheels are 26 or 27 pounds each
Little too much for my taste
Too bad
