Looks to me light the Breytons run just about in the middle of the pack in weight in 19". The lightest being a BBS at 19.80 and 21.2 and oddly enough another BBS was the heaviest at 34.0 and 35.5.So I'm curious, what are you calling heavy?

Brett you are the Anti wheel weight chick! you would sell your soul to save a pound per wheel.
just dish out the $5K for a set of forged wheels and be done with it. Sorry if my extremely detailed wheel weight post when you first joined had anything to do with this!
I really dont think a pound here or there is going to make that much of a difference unless you are racing your car. i wouldn't be too concerned. get what you like for the right price putting weight after looks and price. it will make wheel shopping much easier! Just dont get 21" chrome tedddy wheels. I am sure they weigh a ton!

Yes but these are hub centric....which is good but they require spacers which is no good.
i ran spacers and wide offsets without problems

I've specifically asked someone who had 935s on and was told that they were a totally decent set - no issues. And this guy has a RWD car, like you. Your situation with M6 reps should not repeat with 935s - especially, since you'll be going with a 19 inch this time. So as a cost-effective solution, 935s should be totally adequate. Of course, Breytons may be better quality wheels.
I totally agree with you about Forgestars - I too would pick them up in a heartbeat, if only they had some concavity to them...
