weight of OEM wheels ?
Is there an accurate table of common OEM wheel specs?
I've used the search but these seems to be a lot of discrepancies.... Thought this site might be it - http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E9.../browse/wheels but according to this thread (and poster) claim the 162 and 189 weigh like 20% more than the website - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=oem+weight Is there a good and reliable source of data for OEM wheel weights? Thanks! |

this link is buried in the threads:
http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ My oem 161s weigh less here than they do on bmwfans.info. No idea which is more reliable. Seems like most oem rims are around 25+ lbs, with a few exceptions. |

I may do some touch up work on them soon and may simply weight the wheels with tires (using a bathroom scale  ) and guestimate by subtracting TireRack's tire weight specs. I'm curious about front vs back for square set-up possibilities. |

10 years later - for those interested, I just weighed my stock 287's (identical to 189's I believe). On them were PS4S, 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. They weighed as follows.
Front - 8's wheels, 225 tires - 49.7 & 50.3 Rear - 8.5' wheels, 255 tires - 51.6 & 52.6 Michelin claims the tires weigh 21 pounds in front, and 23 pounds in back. I believe there's a few things floating around saying 287's are 24 pounds in front and 26 in back. Other numbers floating around say they're around 28 pounds and 30 pounds each. FWIW, I believe the accurate weight for 287's is around 28-30 pounds each, unfortunately. Bring on the apex's!!! |
