With regards to the wheels.

The gt rims are 7.21kg but I don't know the weight with the Yokohama tyres on.

The gts wheel and tyre combo is 41.4lb and I know the tyre is 21lb of that. Therefore the rim is about 21.4lb (just under 10kg).

As for car weight difference between gt and gts... Not sure but the lighter gt may not be faster 0-100 stock if the Yokohama tyres don't grip as well as the primacy tyres on launch.

I'd hazard a guess at about 30kg weight difference between the gt and gts due to the wheels, brakes and heated seats etc
