1M Wheels Weigh 26+lbs?!?!
I was looking for wheel weights and found the following information toward sthe bottom of the page here for the 19 inch BMW Competition wheels:
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265756 Front: 19x9 +31, 26lbs Rear: 19x10 +25 26.8lbs That's pretty heavy! I was hoping they'd come in closer to 20lbs.

That not much more then the standard 135i 18" rims, but It should be less. It's an "M" right?

Friggen boat anchors...
But who cares as these are street cars and thereby need wheels that have to withstand bumps and shot municipal roads. If they are ultra light forged aluminum or magnesium they will bend and warp all day... Remember these are not race cars they are just fast road cars. |

Yeah that style of wheel tends to be pretty heavy. Even the BBS LM 19x10 is about 26lbs flat and that is a $1200 forged rim. To get lighter you'll have to get racing rims which aren't that great for a daily.

M wheels are always lighter than normal BMW wheels. IF you look at the Felgenkatalog you can see that the "normal M wheels (type #220) weigh in at 13.26 kg or 29 lbs each. And those #220 wheels are half an inch narrower than the M Y-spoke #359 wheels on the M3 (comp pak) and 1M. http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ So the 1M wheels are 3(+) lbs lighter than normal bmw wheels.

I think the stock M wheels it comes with are beautiful but I wouldn't mind looking at other, lighter options for track days.
Anyone know of a significantly lighter wheel that would work and looks nice? (brand and model). And yes, I'd consider 18's for track days but would run 18x10's all the way around. |

Edit: Forgot to mention that CCW has some decent rims and are made here to order in the US and the weights look like they are in the low 20s. http://www.ccwheel.com/wheelprofiles.php check the classics' and lm20s. Nice thing is that they are "complete custom" meaning you can get any offset/bolt pattern that you want. Last edited by neech; 02-01-2011 at 04:56 PM.. |

I had RPF1s on my Z4M Coupe and loved them. Super lightweight, look great, and were very strong. I think I might get a set of those again if i go with the 1M...assuming the offsets work for it.

+1
And PS2s are not the lightest tire available, so when it comes time to change them it is worth considering other options (just not the Bridgestone RE11s as those weigh over 4lbs more than even the PS2s, talk about a hog!)

Thanks guys, I'll check them out. Also, good info about tire weight...never even considered that although grip is my key criteria on that front - but all things being equal, I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Thanks again. |

The Mackin Industries makes good lightweight rims, like the aforementioned Advan, the Yokohama rims. The GT-R and 370 Z has rims from Rays, which Mackin Industry makes... |

THAT was my point... if 13s weigh 21lbs then 1M wheels (9s and 10s) shouldnt weigh more than that.
