Here's what I found (on page5):
Felgen-Katalog - BMW-Treff - der Treffpunkt fr alle BMW-Fans und -Fahrer

F=27.4 lbs
R=31.5 lbs

Let me know if you'll sell this set when you get your new wheels.

Ok that helps me. I noticed the hugest performance gains on my M3 going to a lighter wheel. I"ll continue to work at the other stuff like air flow and exhaust along with suspension also.

Not sure if you have seen my ad, but I have a set of forged 19" wheels made out of the same factories as BBS, etc . Both F/R are about 22 lbs each....

They are a good looking rim for sure but there seems like such a big difference between the 19s and the 20s for some reason. I test fit a set of 19s from my M3 with skinny rubber and they looked ridiculous without lowering the vehicle and that wouldn't have really improved the look either unfortunately.
