fulltone,

that is a very light weight total. with my bbs rc 18 x8.5 and mich ps2, total weight is at 42.5. wheel is 18.5, tire is 24 lbs.

you said it - not worth spending anymore for such a little change, unless you're racing for time for a living...

 

Style 19 rims are 2 piece and are very lightweight for any OEM rim. I have a set for summer and I am looking for a second set for the winter

 

This is one of the main reasons I will not sell the BBS style 5 wheels from the 528i sport- they are constructed the same way.


I'm actually interested in a set of staggered style 19 for the rears. I want to experiment and take the wider barrels of the style 19 and swap with the style 5 barrels. Then I will have staggered 17" style 5s. Turn around and sell the style 19s as a set of 4 17x8 and recover my investment or keep them for winter wheels if I want to get snow tires. Both styles have 34 bolts on 17" centers- I think It'd be a simple swap.

I think it's funny that the style 19s dont get as much love as the style 5s- they are very similar as far as performance/ construction. I was about to sell my style 5s for 750 bucks and I said no go, changed my mind.
