    They're known for being very light, around 12 lbs. if I recall correctly. They're sought after because of that, in part. Also, being BMW rims, they're very strong.

    Just got another one... I was already a bit late for work. :) I really like how they fill the wheelwells and are almost flush with the fenders.
