OK seriously now, That is a lot of weight to add to the top of the car. You can make the car very unstable. I would suggest the track day trailer option instead.

Also how did you get 35lbs/tire??? I've never seen a wheel lighter than ~18lb (for 18") and a tire less than 21lb (for a 135i racing size >245) Thats 49lb/corner at ~160lbs +rack. You are probably close to 200lbs and that is dangerous.

I don't want to be a jerk, but it is probably worth the extra money to protect your safety and the car from damage.
