Or...it's a race part which could mean they weight-optimized it and figure the race teams will replace with regularity - that thick back pad means a lot of that 20.3lb isn't in the spokes or barrel. But it's also pretty much the standard "as light as possible GT car" split-5 wheel design, so maybe that's most of the difference
I trust BMW Motorsport to field a quality competition product, but I don't trust them to give us stuff that lasts forever especially when individual GT4 teams are buying 5-6 sets of wheels *a year* due to carnage, long races means tire changes, flats destroying wheels yada
It looks like the Apex 18x11 will cost right around the same - $600-650 each.
