Definitely a market for it since I believe the OE BMW BBS made wheels are several pounds heavier per corner, and the AG M359 are gravity cast, so really heavy.
Couldn't agree more. These are pretty heavy... if this was a track focused build I would've gone for VMRs flow formed v710 or Apex. But at the end of the day this car will only see spirited back road driving and date nights; which is why I chose something I wouldn't mind looking at for a year or so until I do the rear.
