Well, we should know w/in the next few days a confirmation of weight & fitment since Tire Rack's website says they're estimated to get them tomorrow (matte grey & then black on 5/1/08). Notice on their site it says,
"(10) Required lugbolt for vehicle (1) 1 PR 20MM SPACER 5-120 72.56CB" Thus, I'm assuming it's for the rear 19x9.5; +35mm offset wheels to make it basically +15mm w/the included +20mm spacers. I know spacers are supposedly safe & what not but I just don't feel comfy using spacers so I'll have to pass on these wheels unless Breyton makes a lower offset for the rears. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...8&autoModClar=

Yeah saw that post but sometimes manufacturers lie and/or makes an error regarding weights. I had this happen one time w/another manufacturer. This manufacturer was off by 4-pounds (for a 20" wheel)! And yes, had I known then I wouldn't have gotten those wheels. It's nice to have a 3rd party confirm that's all.

I've been told by my tire guy that the current Race GTS are not meant for the e92 M3. (Think the offsets confirm this - closer to non-M 3 series offsets)
For the E92 M3, he's been told the same design Race GTS 19" will weigh 13kg (+/-)... that to me is closer to a Breyton Wheel... and they'll only be ready some time in late March. cheers |

Aside from the offset issue, I have a practical concern. The spokes going out the the face of the wheel look cool, but once you curb one (and it will probably happen) repair will be very difficult since you'll be dealing with damaged spokes, not just the rim face.
That car looks like it has a 2" lift!

That would put them on par with the stock 19" wheels.

yup, that's why i'm currently on Schmieden Indivis 19" weighing only 9.5+/-kg, around the same as the stock 18"... (the lightest 19" i could find)
i don't seem to have lost much in terms of unsprung weight and inertia... cheers |

I'll recheck these wheels before I pay for them with regards to weight and so on. Its a tricky one with them being a spanking new wheel. |

Just called Tire Rack & they said it literally just arrived yesterday but no weight info yet. Sales representative said he'll call me back by tomorrow w/the weight info. BTW, it's the same offsets as already been posted (+30mm front & +35mm rear w/20mm spacers).
