1.5x8x4 ~ 50+ lbs, I think even my wife can feel the diff. if its the look you are going for, then no need to worry, mostly the impact is a little extra fuel cost.

they are only Weight: 26.0lbs. for 19" so for $3400hk I dont think you can find any other rim the same or better.
I know that your BBS are abit lighter but not much more Weight: 24.5lbs.

for the 1.5lbs lighter at a $7000 extra
if I was on the track then I will get lighter.
but for HK roads no worth it. My 2 cent

BTW are your from japan or us

I'm a broke after changing those LMs ... I choose the LMs because of their looks, to me, BMW with BBS is a symbol of classic.
Been thinking of this kind of setup since I was a child.

I agree but only on old BMW like e30 or 650i.

btw, track or not, the little weight increase has big impact on handling. all the serious mrs owners told me to look for 1 with the original 15" wheels rather than 1 upgraded to 16 or 17.
