Awesome weight savings!
This made me curious, so I weighed my BBS wheels. Unfortunately, I was not able to weigh my wheels and tires separately, so I had to go with a combined weight for comparison. Combined weight OEM M299 20" w/ Bridgestone RFT....82lbs front and 89.8lbs rear. Combined weight BBS SV 22" w/ Pirelli.......................75lbs front and 76lbs rear Combined weight Forgestar CF10 21" w/Michelin..........61.6lbs front and 65lbs rear (winner) I was somewhat disappointed that my weight savings was not as significant as yours, although I did go from a 20" wheel to a 22" wheel...

but at the same time, your BBS SV is casted, so rotary forging should be lighter. Now the real winner is a set of 1 piece forged, would like to see how a set of those compares OP, this set actually looks much better than I would have thought it would, CF10 has never been my favorite design, but it does appears to work well here |

exactly, yours were since you weighed everything together, but the numbers you are comparing to weren't since those are just the tire weight by itself plus the rim weight by itself, so your set in this comparison should be lighter, but it probably won't be as light as the forgestars

Outstanding... Please comment on the ride of the PSS tires versus the runflats... Also, what are you lowered on?

Also, I weighed the wheels with the tires mounted and got 63.8 lbs front and 58.6 lbs rear, which is about 98 lbs saved.
