The 18 inchers weigh in the neighborhood of 32 (Front)/34 (rear) lbs. Check out the "Mind Candy" link in my sig.

OMG! Are you kidding me? That's alot just for an 18" wheel. Did you weigh these yourself or read it somewhere? Wait...perhaps I'm getting the wheels confused...It's the one that comes w/the 530i Sport package. I thought those were the same size front & rear (18x8)? If they're the same size front/rear then why would the weights be different? Thx for your help!

[/quote]Actually, I am talking about the 18 inchers on a 545i. But, regardless, your wheels should be at least 32, and your tires are very heavy too. The approximate numbers I gave are common-knowledge-in-the-ball-park figures. And, yes, I did weight mine approximately by weighing tire and wheel combo and subtracting out the Tirerack.com approximate tire weight.
