I was wondering if anyone could tell me the weight of the factory sport package wheels on a 530. I am in the process of picking out some new Breyton's but the weights vary from 26 - 32 pounds per wheel. I want to maintain the same ride and handling balance that I have now so I would like to match the factory wheel weight as close as possible. I have contacted Tirerack but they can only guess. Any suggestions?

Welcome speedy!!

When I changed over to winter tires, I weighed in one of my wheels (style 123) with the Dunlop RFT....27kg (about 60 pounds ).

Pretty heavy.

Happy to be aboard Any feedback on Breyton wheels good, bad or indifferent. Reading the replies the Breyton wheels seem a bit heavy.

Will I actually notice a couple of extra pounds of unsprung weight?

At what point do I notice a difference?

Can't decide on wheels but would like to stay under $2500.00 for the set of four.

I appreciate any input you have to offer.
