I gotta tell you I'm a little apprehensive about modifying my future M6 at all, except the chip for the speed limiter, because it seems like such a delicately crafted and highly-tuned machine that any meddling with its physics is off-putting.
However, on the M5 forum, it's being talked about where some of their cars are being lowered, changing to 21' tires and Hartage rims with no ill effects.
Since the lowering seems like a do-able operation, I'm emboldened to consider different rims too instead of the specially designed M6's. To do this, however, it would be nice to know the weight of the exisiting M6 rims to compare them to whichever ones I consider. I'd hate to choose a rim so overweight that it puts such undue strain on steering joints as to effect its handling, ride characteristics and mechanics in the long run.
Any input would be appreciated.
