I am having a TOUGH time deciding on wheels. I want something really light. What do you think about Advan RS B's? The front weighs 18.96 lbs and the rears weigh 20.28lbs.

They are nice wheel Joe, just not sure they fit well on the M5. There are so many nicer wheel options out there

Yea that's what I'm debating, but I want something really light and not spend a lot of money.

Advans are awesome wheels. Strong and light. If straight out performance is your aim, these are the way to go. Unsprung weight ftw!

I agree, great wheels - strong and light, but they just don't so it for me on an M5. Maybe they have more fitting styles?

Joe, modding is always a hard decision - must be even harder when your car has to be your personal car and a company statement
