Anyone know how much the front & rear wheels weigh with the m sports package?

Thanks,

Ha! I love that the non M package wheels are lighter!

. I also love the style of the 264's over the 261's. Although I wish that the 264's also got the M branding on them

Agreed. I found the 261s a little too cutesy for my taste. To each his own. And guess what, if you clean your own car, that's 10 more minutes of futzing around down there with the extra dust catching groove.

It's just that you'd think the executives at BMW would take weight into consideration when assigning an "M" to things...

Looks like only the front 7.5" ones are lighter. The rear 8.5" shows lighter with the 261M's.

Probably a mis-print in the weight of the front 261M. With the tyres on, the front 261Ms are definitely lighter than the rear. I would say the 7.5" front ones should be 10.90kg, not 11.90kg, compared with 11.23kg for the 8.5" rear.

The 261s are the single best looking rims that BMW makes outside of the M6 rims.

... might want to preface that with "In my opinion", because I don't agree with either of those wheels as being close to BMW's current best looking wheel.

oddly enough, the bmw performance style 313 weighs more than the 264. Now I'm really puzzled by this. The performance wheel and the M package wheel are heavier than the stock wheel. We must be missing an "efficient dynamics" angle here.

I'll bet they help cooling and reduce drag.
