New wheels pic
 
I havent posted in a while so I decided to post a pic. Albiet not the greatest pic but here it goes.

BTW the new wheels are BBS LM-R's 19x8.5 +32 up front with 15mm Rogue Engineering spacers and 19x9.5 +25 in the rear with no spacers. The car sits on a Dinan Stage 3 suspension that lowered the car 1.5 inches and with these offsets, i dont have to run into any rubbing issues. Also, these wheels make the BMW style 172's feel like a ton of bricks.

Do you know the weight difference between the bbs and 172s?

Was considering 20's but as low as my car sits and having to fit 4 people on a regular basis, I didnt want to run into rubbing issues. I ran into that with my e36 m3 all the time and not am not a huge fan of rubbing issues.

Short of actually weighing the wheels, I can say that the LM-R's are considerably lighter than the 172's.

According to my findings, 5 to 6 lbs.

That's flippin' huge! And it's rotational weight so I can imagine you can feel that.
