Any one know if a chart or list of the lightest wight 4 lug wheel made for 914?

Of the stock rims, the Mahle baby burner is supposedly the lightest ...

I don't have the numbers any more, but when I measured a Fuchs four-lug, a Mahle four-lug, and a Pedrini wheel, the Pedrini was the heaviest, the Mahle a bit lighter, and the Fuchs was noticeably lighter.

Aftermarket wheels can be very light indeed, though. When they are, they often aren't as robust as the stock wheels. Great for racing, where everything gets inspected periodically, but not so great for the street.

Fuchs have fantastic strength to weight ratio.
