Weighed on a bathroom scale, nothing high tech, based on the Tire Rack data of the RE050 weighing 28 lbs. each, this puts the OEM style 155 at +/- 25 lbs.
so, if your stlye 155 (16" rims) way approx 25lbs., can anyone venture to guess what the 'average" bmw 18" rim weighs??

i am trying to calculate unsprung weight savings with lightweight rims.
thanks,
