i would have to see numbers to believe this. nothing against you but after my 20in miro m6 replicas (heavy as hell!!) i cant believe a 20in miro wheel is lighter than a 19in bmw m sport wheel.
Well actually these wheels are not the same as m6 rep.. I believe they are made by different company..
Stock wheels are amazingly heavy compare to replica wheels that I got before

thanks gene. i just checked that site and found out my 138's weigh around 21 pounds (JUST THE RIM ONLY) weight here.
I do have run flats so changing those out from 17in run flats to 20in tires would most likely be lighter. I told myself i would never buy another after market wheel that was heavier than stock setup, and wasnt hub centric.
These with the lighter tires would be close to my stock weights. Are these hub centric?

are your current Miro wheels hubcentric? I would think this set would be the same, since they are made by the same manufacturer...

The 935s are indeed hub centric.
And with the numbers you guys are giving for the wheel weights and what I got for tires, I don't get a 13 pound difference in the rear by the math. I will try to recheck on the scale tonight if I have time. When I put them on, it was a big enough difference by feel that I went ahead and got the scale out, so... And it really doesn't matter what I get for totals, we are just interested in the difference. My original post said the rear 124 with tire was 68 pounds and the 935s were 55.
As stated previously, it is entirely possible that the M6 Reps and the 935s are made by different manufacturers. The rep wheel market is out of control with lots of different companies buying the same wheels and marketing them as their own. It goes far beyond BMW reps.
Anyway, buy my wheels

they would look good on my car but the weight scares me.
Did these wheels ever vibrate like the m6 miro reps? You would think the main reason the miro m6 reps were vibrating was because they werent hub centric but who knows. Anyone with these wheels ever deal with vibration problems?
