I saw that. I am really digging the new Arc8R!.

That being said, I would like to think there is a strength benefit to the thicker back-pad. The GT4 wheels are slightly lighter (less than 1 lb which is negligible). Then there's the fact that the GT4 wheels are an OE racing product- which brings with it the factory testing that only BMW can afford. Lastly I think that these wheels simply look fantastic.
