15 lbs a wheel, i know im their premier authorized dealer in my area. I mean you could use them but i would much rather use a fully forged monoblock I dont like using multipiece wheels on the track anyway.

But their CF Forged is crazy strong still.

I would use their GA1R Open Lug Cap or VX1R wheels for track.



ALSO

ya believe it or not most OEM wheels are heavy, the aftermarket technology provides lighter alternatives.

I find it close to impossible the 20x11 wheel is 15lbs.

The Carbon Revolution wheel for the 350R is 20lbs and it's all CF.

Depends on the width and offset to be honest


But yep very familiar with the cf 350r wheels.

BBS forged wheels in a 20x11 weight 17 or 18 lbs if not mistaken for certain models

Nope, it's possible. Without using any Carbon Fiber at all we were able to achieve this on our R101 Lightweight for the BMW M3:

20 x 9.5 = 17.4 lbs
20 x 11 = 18.4 lbs





The lightest 20" I've seen is a 20x8.5 R101 Lightweight for the Cayman GT4 which weights 16.00lbs.

The standard R101 would be the option to go with, that's our lightest wheel we carry aside from the R101LW which only is made for certain makes/models. One issue though, the R101 wheel only goes up to a 19" size, so if you'd like a similar design in 20", we would opt for the P101 wheel style.

For example I have a 19x10 weighed in at 19.80lbs
For the 20" option you'd like, the P101 in 20x10 has a weight of 20.80lbs

Note that the weights we list above are approximate because they're dependent on the offset/backspacing for each vehicle they are intended for.
