The tyres are also specifically selected for the M3. The Michelin Pilot Sport (PS2*) is currently fitted."

So, yes, it is likely they weigh about the same, with the forged probably being stronger.

BMW has made a lot of hoopla over how light their wheels are.....I believe the 18s are around 20 lbs or slightly lighter.......yes, sick. Before this car the only really light weight wheels came from the aftermarket.
BTW: nice write-up swamp.
