19" Classics, Lobsters, and Sport Design? I assume the Classics are the lightest (hoping, as I ordered these)

If your are that concered about the wheel weight .. aftermarket would probably be the best solution. I do think the sport design's are the heaviest tho.

Paul,
For the lightest you will probably have to go to aftermarket. I think Wheel Enhancement can steer you in the right direction, or perhaps Tire Rack as an alternative. Champion makes a nice wheel. I have the chrome lobsters and I think they look good.

lobster forks are the lightest wheels made for the 997, sport designs are heavy and cost more $$

Thanks guys, you are all correct. I don't want to go aftermarket, just want the lightest wheel available OEM, and it is indeed the Lobster forks, although not by much.
Here's the info for your information, thanks to Dave @ Wheel Enhancement:
Carerra S (Lobsters) 22.4 fr 27.2 r
Classics 23.10 fr 28.11 r
Sport Design 24.3 fr 28.3 r

Looks like I'm saving some $ and weight, switching order to the forks
