hmm those aren't any lighter than dpe monoblocks. my 20x11 is ~25 lbs as well. don't forget about pad height that makes a difference in weight as well.

meaning the ones in the picture might be for e90 but the e60 might require more pad which would increase the weight

If you are going to run a JDM wheel, check out the Advan Racing RS. It's lighter and in my opinion, looks amazing.
+1 for Advan Racing RS, which comes in gunmetal or silver

I definitely like this look more. They're flow-formed to "to maximize strength
and durability during extreme racing conditions", which is a similar process in
manufacturing Forgestar wheels.





Check out the concavishness of those wheels!
