BMW Peformance Wheels -- Weight?

TazioNYC · 05-27-2008, 02:19 PM

Does anyone know how much the 18" BMW performance wheels weigh vs. stock?

gizmo · 05-27-2008, 03:07 PM

Essentially the same... Unfortunately

PrimoM3 · 05-27-2008, 03:33 PM

Doh! Wish I had asked the dealer to weigh them prior to install. I thought I read though that they were ~24lbs and the stock wheels was ~26lbs. I could be wrong though...maybe this is the peyote I did while climbing Mt Vesuvius coming back to haunt me...

Ugh, that SUCKS.

Heavy heavy

gizmo · 05-28-2008, 02:34 PM

I probably should have been a bit more specific.

Performance: (Member: Nice1)
Front - 24.5lbs
Rear - 25.8lbs

Stock(264): (Member: TP 135i)
Front - 24.2lbs
Rear - 26.2lbs

What would be considered a true lightweight wheel?

S54dan · 05-30-2008, 11:01 AM

^ Something aftermarket. Because the M3 CSL wheels weigh about the same as the BMW Performance Wheels.. around 24lbs

There are a lot of aftermarket wheels that are good. Volk RE30 weight pretty close to 17 lbs and are forged. One of the best wheels IMO if you are willing to pay $750 for each wheel. SSR and OZ are also very good and light, some as light as 17 - 18 lbs.

fourmicah · 05-31-2008, 12:50 PM

I guess it also depends on what you think is lightweight. I had one company tell me their wheels were lightweight and they turned out to weight 27 lbs. each. Bag that idea

TazioNYC · 05-31-2008, 12:58 PM

I thought it was odd that OZ's "Superleggera" wheels were about the same as the BMW ones.

fourmicah · 05-31-2008, 01:17 PM

Some are light and some aren't, it depends on which ones. If I remember right from tirerack.com, they have some that are around 18 lbs., but they're a $1000.

fourmicah · 05-31-2008, 01:21 PM

My Bad, OZ Ultraleggera 18X8 are $348 each and weight 18.6 lbs. I was thinking of the ones you mentioned.

Oh, and are the 18"ers the same width as stock?
