Hi All:
Does anyone know what the sport-package 05 545i wheels weigh? I am not sure if the sport-package wheels are "standard" across the board. I don't have a pic on my car's wheels, but they are like those of the car featured here:
marcsuri's 545i
And, does anyone know of any lighter (hopefully significantly lighter), but gorgeous, alternatives to those shown?

2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
My winter setup is 18"x8.5: BBS RK's/ If I remember correctly they are around 18 lbs (check Tire Rack). I also think that they look good.

I don't remember the stock wheel weight (26-28 lbs maybe?) but I do know the BBS RK's are considerable lighter.

I'm curious of the stock weight of the wheels too... Lonman we need weight info on our wheels page just like this!

P.S. I like our set up on E60... just add wheel weight.

I don't know how much the stock sport package wheels weigh, but I do know that BBS makes some of the lightest and strongest wheels out there. You can check out some aftermarket wheel weights at http://www.wheelweights.net/.
If it were me, I'd go with the BBS RG-R (they are OEM for the M3 CSL!)
