There's a thread by WSTO that has nearly every wheel that M3 owners mount to their cars. Your answer is there!

If I remember correctly, the TE37 along with one of the ADV wheels are two of the lightest on the market.

ADV was light? This I have to see.

BBS F1 is very light. TE37-SL is also very light.

currently, some of the lightest wheels in our arsenal are the following:
1. BBS FI
2. Advan RS (18" & 19")
3. Advan RZ-DF (19")
4. Volk TE37SL (18" & 19")
5. Volk TE37 (18" and 19")
6. Volk VR G2 (18" and 19")
7. HRE R40 Motorsport wheels (18")
8. HRE Comp 90 (18" & 19")
9. Forgeline Competition Series (18" & 19")

most of the wheels above weighed in at between 18lbs ~ 22lbs.

we have weighed quite a bit and you can see them in detail here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=265756

I Think he meant the ADVAN wheels from Yokohama. Not to be mistaken with the ADV.1 wheels, I was making this mistake when I first started researching. The ADVAN RS, RZ lines are really light well I think all of them are pretty light.

If you have found ADV weights somewhere, I'd sure like to see them. The generally deep concavity design of their wheels leads to more weight not less.

Advans, on the other hand, are generally very light. Be carefull in the quest for light weight. Light and strong is expensive.

Light and strong wheels!?

Don´t forget the wheels from Alloy Technic ... the B9 must be one of the lightest 19" wheels on the market!

An from spring 2011 ZERRA from Germany brings its "Speedwheel ultralight" on the market (~7,9kg for an 19"wheel) - CSL-Design and also for BMW.

Like mentioned in the post above, I was referring to the ADVAN wheels. I apologize for the confusion.
