The rear is too wide for the scales but if I get on scales, then someone passes me the wheel my weight goes up by 13kg, so about 29lbs for the rear.

Are you sure you aren't just maxing out the scale?

For street driving, would a 10 lb reduction in unsprung weight be noticeable in driving dynamics? For those of you with the Wortec rotors, some commented that the driving difference was noticeable, and as I recall that weight drop wasn't as significant? By the way, both of these wheels are reasonably priced. Gibbo, I can start new thread if hijack in process.

Which wheel designs were in the lighter (20lbs) range? And were you looking at 20" or 21"?

I'd also be interested in buying a set, my Turbine wheels are quite heavy (33-35 lbs).

According to "Jaguar F-Type: The Complete Story" by Andrew Noakes, SVR wheels are forged alloy and deliver a weight saving of "up to 13.8kg (30lb) per set".
