Weight of M5 wheels - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I recently bought an M5 '03 (Titanium silver). I've had Kinesis wheels and THIS time I would like to spend less and get something different. I'm looking at the Breyton Vision's 19's. Stealth looking and EASY to keep clean. I don't want to go heavier, so does anybody know the weight of the stock M5 wheels? Also, if you have purchased aftermarket wheels I would appreciate your pics! Thank you!

Rears are 26 lbs. each. Front are probably 22ish.

Try this site:http://www.wheelweights.net/. It claims fronts at 23.6 and rears just under 26.

you can go on looks of performance? I would guess that Kinesis wheels will be a higher performance, ie made to take to the track! Breyton Vision's are great wheels, well balanced and can be a good choice, just know which direction you want to go.

Breyton's are HEAVY wheels, all of them. Good wheels, but heavy.

The OEM wheels are froged and fairly lightweight, it's difficult to find a much lighter weight wheel that is a) strong, and b) not really really expensive.

Assuming you meant forged, the specifications in the 2003 M brochure states that the wheels are lightweight cast aluminum alloy.
