296 Wheel Weight?

Vintage · 01-28-2010, 10:28 AM

Does anyone know the weight in pounds of a front 296 19" front wheel and the weight of the rear wheel? I ask this because I am considering selling my wife's 296s and upgrading to some BBS forged wheels but I want to make sure the new wheels are lighter so that performance is increased. Thanks in advance for the help of some knowledgeable BMW folks on this site. I also really like some Breytons. Also, where is the cheapest/best place to buy good (BBS) wheels?

on average BBS are 25 and 26 for staggered 19" wheels. the RGR and RS-GT are the lightest both under 22. i used to have breyton GTS 19" wheels on my E90 and they were 26.5 and 27.5, the Race GT are 31. nothing ever happened to my wheels, but i've heard stories of cracked breytons.

i don't know of "cheapest", but a good place is tirerack.com if you want the latest giovani's or something with spinners then i don't know where.
