Need to know the weight of a front 214 style wheel

[motex]

Hello guys,
I need to know the weight of a single front factory 20" wheel Style 214 ?
Im buying a set of 4 front replicas (dont want to deal with stagered wheels, I just want to use same tire all 4 corners) the company is on EBay called Direct and they say the wheels are made by the same manufacturer that makes the wheels for BMW, they told me that each front wheel weights 40 pounds.
Being curious, I just checked the weight of some M3 wheels I still have with me, and the front ones weight 26 pounds , remember the difference is that the my M3's wheels are 18's but I feel a 14 pound difference is way to much from 18" to 20" maybe Im wrong here.
Any good advice will be highly appreciated !!

20" - style 214


F - 17.1kg = 37.7lb (OEM) vs 41lbs (Replica) (3.3lbs dif.)
R - 17.8kg = 39.2lb (OEM) vs 43lbs (Replica) (3.8lbs dif.)

Thanks a lot, if those wheels they are offering me were made at the same factory of the OEM's weight had to be identical, so probably they are lying to me in some way....

Thanks a lot for your valuable info

IMHO, ~7lbs difference isn't that much considering the price of OEM vs replica.

Where did you get those stats? Im trying to find other rim weights such as OEM 19" 132, OEM and Replica 20" 87 and 168. Is there a chart or something out there?
