That's why I'm glad I switched to OEM M166 from 124

. I wonder if the replicas weigh the same

I did the same thing for curb appeal...are we talking about a 20lbs reduction in weight?! Seems kinda trivial to consider wheel replacements for this reason. Maybe just have a passenger weight limit and be done with it!!

Weight reduction at the wheels has a much greater impact on performance and ride than the same reduction on the body. 20lb reduction is great.
