I don't know the exact weights but I do not know the TE37s in 19s are around 18-20lbs and PTL mentioned the same numbers as well.
19" TE37's weigh a bit more than 18-20lbs . . .

Great post here with wheel weights, including the Volks -> http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=243069

You posted the pics in order of my preference. My thoughts on each model:

G2
Looks to be the biggest looking wheel out of the three. Looks nice and
clean. What color would you get in this?

G10
I like the concavity of the spokes to the center. It gives it some depth.
But seeing how this only comes at most in 19", the lip may make the
wheel look even smaller.

IMHO, I'd keep your 360Forged wheels than any of these.
What do each of these wheels weigh anyway?
+1 G2 or G10

Frank, can you say concavity? I would have went with concavishness.

Tony, you know how I feel about your 360's....

i like them on Japanese cars, they dont look right on a BMW, IMHO.
Gotta agree with you Nelson.

If you are going to run a JDM wheel, check out the Advan Racing RS. It's lighter and in my opinion, looks amazing.

the weight varies from site to site

i got low 18 and high 22's

link shows it at 22lbs which is the lightest of the bunch

all those wheels are really light for their sizes
