Default Specs for '04 wheels

Anyone know the specs for the new oem 17" wheels? Couldn't find in FAQ.
Width (F and R), offset, weight. Also new tire size (especially aspect ratio).
Thanks.

Would like to know the exact weight as well (compaired to '00 - '03). They certainly feel lighter...

I stand corrected. Sorry for the misinformation, I do not have my tome o' S2k at work.

For what it's worth, a comparison I did of '03 and '04 wheels with tires show the '04s to be 6.5 pounds heavier. I have no idea how much of that is just tire, and how much from the new wheels.

I'm surprised to hear they're heavier. From what I could tell (mind you I didn't use a scale) the '04 rims felt lighter...

The '04 wheels are actually quite heavy as confirmed above especially the rear wheels for obvious reasons.

The S2k MY04 17" wheels weights are:
Front (7" wide): 7.97kg (17.6#)
Rear (8.5"wide): 9.32kg (20.5#)

This will make the zillionth time this has been posted - is the search really broken, or are the slackers taking over our minds?
