Weight of OEM wheels compared to after-market ones

nlaul · 01-31-2006, 11:22 PM

I was wondering if anyone knows the weight of the OEM 18s (162, 195, 196 Styles). I am seeing some after market wheels that weigh anywhere from 21lbs to 35 lbs and just dont know what should be considered reasonable and how it would compare to what the OEM offers.

I currently have a 325xi with the 156 wheels. It would be interesting to see the weight difference between the different sizes as well.

This topic(as most) has been discussed alot in the past. Try a search to get the info you need. I don't remember the url, but there is a website that has most OEM and aftermarket weights, I'm sure you'll find it in a search of e90post's forums.
