I do not know the weight of my wheels but I believe I saw a 20x12 P40SC weight in at 22lbs. Also make note that its not the total weight of the wheel that owners need to factor in for their performance, it's the unsprung mass. The CEO of HRE explains it in more detail in the podcast.

I weighted a 20x11 for a 2012 Mercedes CLS63 at 22.4 lbs.

For the Z, which has a very low offset, you will tend to see higher weights. I would estimate 19x10.5 with low offset will be in the 22 lb range. With a lot of the newer vehicles, car manufacturers have moved to high offset, which makes the wheels lighter. Z/GTR is not one of those cars

That's why you can get those really conical profiles on the Z/GTR.

It's good to see vendors talk about their competitors with respect for one another these days.

definitely

we give credit where credit is due

thats where we strive to be in the future

any of the newer wheel companies now-a-days that makes a lot of claims and shouts alot about we're better that this company and that company, especially when they're comparing themselves to the industry leaders like BBS, OZ Racing, HRE, Rays, etc... are basically just a bunch of guys sitting in an office and over-compensating for their own tragic short comings

we like to follow the path of those industry leaders and just let our products do the talking for us, and we work each day to build the reputation, customer trust and cult following of those industry leaders

we do it for the love of motorsports

hats off to HRE for a great video and incredible facility
