Post some pics too when you get your ride back - I'm in a similar situation as you regarding the wheels, and would like to see how the 17s look with the Aero kit.

factory Carreras are 21 pounds, replica should be more?.
The more crucial bit is the tire weight. Its better to have a heavy wheel and light tire than a light wheel and heavy tire like a Toyo RA1 r comp.

There is no way both the front and backs OEM Carreras are 21lbs. The replica fronts weighted 23 lbs. and the rear 27lbs,with packaging.

they sure are. I weighed myself on the scale, took one wheel out of the box (no tire) and got back on the scale holding the wheel directly over my head. 21 pounds front and the back wheel was about half a pound heavier.

Hmm I never weighted my replicas out of the box but the package labeling said the fronts were 23lbs, 18x8 the rears still packaged were 27lbs,18x10.*

I just weighted my OEM Technologys before packaging.....34lbs in the front for a 18x8.5 and the rears were 37lbs,18x10!!!! I saved at 40+lbs changing wheels and can't feel it,what a bummer! Just something to consider for eveyrone doing mods to save 10lbs here 20 lbs there.

Travis,

Can you post pics of your Box once the Aero Kit is installed? I'm about to
purchase the GT3 and side skirts from DPS. I still have 17"s on mine too and
wanted to see a pic of a Boxster with 17" wheels and the Aero Kit.

Thanks!
Georg
