the standard "S" wheels (lobster fork) are the lightest 19" wheels available from Porsche.

Sorry men I didn't realized that porsche websites weren't the same

I found those pics on the french porsche website (i'm french as you can see my accent in my writing ), and they aren't actually on porsche america website.

Here is the french porsche tequipement section, not difficult to understand and good pics http://www.porsche.com/france/access...ce/tequipment/

some nice cars in exclusive section to :http://www.porsche.com/france/access...ice/exclusive/

Incorrect. Lobsters are actually slightly lighter, then the Classics, then the Sport Design Wheels.
18" Classics are lighter, maybe he was speaking of these.

Lobsters are the lightest 19" wheels offered by Porsche. The 997 S comes standard with 19's so maybe your dealer was "confused".

Love those Carrera Sport wheels! You save 50% of the brake weight with PCCBs.
