I thinking about purchasing a set of these rims.


The rims are 20x8.5 offset is +20, however the rims are 38lbs each. Is that ok for 20's? I looked on tirerack and the Breyton Sprint in 20X9.5 (3 piece wheel) is 39.3 lbs. By the way, how much do stock 530I rims(non sport) weight? Also what do you guys think about the rim? Any input would be helpfull. Thanks!

Breytons tend to be on the heavy side. 38lbs sound like they're pretty heavy to me.

Anyone knows how much the factory rims weight on the 530i (both sport and no sport), just to get an idea? Also, do low profile tires weight less than OEM higher profile tires, example a 225/50/17 tire weight vs a 245/30/20 weight?


BTW It seems if you gonna get 20's, they either gonna be in the 37-39 lbs for normal rims, or 26-28 lbs for lightweight one's (but your gonna really pay in price ie 900+ each).

I am not sure if the same rim will weigh differently in sports and non-sports package. What I do know is the 16" 134 weighs aprroximately 10.4 Kg while the 18" 124 weighs 11.2 Kg. Multiply by 2.2 to get lbs.
