It was 1/8 mile and my best was an 9.01

Would it be faster, or slower without those rims?

I can't see the pics from work so I don't know what the rims / tires are, but as a point of reference I did consistently get 8.8s times ( avg speed 86.8) in 1/8 runs on my "Flower Power" wheels and OEM Bridgestone RFTs. I have not retested with my new lighter set up in 20" and non-RFTs which are the exact same rolling circumference as my OEM configuration. If anything, I should not hurt my performance in this regard. Probably be a few weeks before I can clear my calendar for testing.

Looks good here

Being so close you may want to think about joining us on our semi annual treks to the Tail of the Dragon for some fun on the twisties. Next event is in May 09 along with Sharkfest (e24 and e63/64 sharks) somewhere in NC (but rumor has it close to Asheville). Core group is 6ers, but all foorms of BMWs join in.
