Anyone knows the weight for style 214 front wheels

motex · 06-19-2009, 02:49 PM

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 !!

just a thought , did you ask them if the wheels are for RFs ?
I would think wheels for RFs would be heavier.

Is that the shipping weight or the actual weight?

dmlgc is referring to Run-Flat tires.

The weight of the rims for RFTs and regular tires should be pretty much the same.
