Base Wheels - Weight
Has anyone had a chance to weigh the base 18/19 inch wheels yet?
Just curious how beneficial it may or may not be to swap.

I sold a set and had to ship them ups. They were approx 63lbs for the 19's and 59 for the 18's. That did include the tire and the wheel.

Thank you!
Tire rack lists the tires as 27/33 so that would leave 32lbs wheels up front and 30 lbs in back?
That seems way too heavy....does that sound right to anyone?

That does seem extremely heavy. Granted, the Z51s are forged and lighter, but I have non-forged 19" JCW wheels on my R60 and they only weigh like 21lbs. Not the same brand, but regardless - 32/30 is
heavy .

they listed the Z51 wheel weights. 23/27 without tires. I am looking for the base wheel weights, not Z51.
it's ok, I already ordered some 20lbers. my stock wheels will be for sale in a few weeks.
