Been searching for over an hour now and cant seem to find an answer. Could anyone tell me the weight of the stock rim for style 135?

Was randomly searching ecstuning and came across these: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330i-M54_3.0L/ES2070620/

Became curious what the difference in weight would be.

HEAVY. I think they're something like 35 or 37 pounds.

I just adore the look of M135's. Anyone think of replicas that weigh less? I've never given them a thought, fearing for their quality but if someone has done their research... Maybe for even for a spare wheel perhaps?

According to the Felgen site,
the fronts weigh 24 pounds, 12 oz.
the rears weigh 26 pounds, 4 oz.

Oh man I didn't notice the quantity. Three will not do much. . . lol... Well for 2-3lbs Its not really worth it I guess.

24lbs isn't that light.

The arc-8's I think run around 18lbs, and some are lighter than that.

That would drop about 28-30lbs in the wheels. Now that seems a little more worth it.

Funny, I always thought they were closer to 28 lbs, good to know they may be less.

chrome prob adds a little bit of weight per wheel compared to the regular painted wheels, but def not 2-3 pounds per wheel

I've always read that the stockers are high-20s. My 18x9 Raderwerk C-8s (Concept One) are about 21 lbs. I weighed them when they got here. I'm not sure if that's worth it to you, but it's 5-8 pounds each wheel depending on your source!

DISCLAIMER: I also live in Cleveland and refuse to buy quality, expensive wheels. I already bent one Rader. Definitely sacrificing the quality in build there.
