Wheel weight?

[cozza]

Does anyone know the weight of the 261 wheels or is there an easy way to find out? I've done a pretty thorough search but it returned no results.

Motorsport Wheels & Tyres have informed me that the M6 replica they have available weighs between 11-12 kg without a tyre fitted. This seems quite heavy. Thoughts?

Hello? Anybody?

Try asking in the Wheels & Tires section instead of the regional section, someone somewhere has to know. I wouldn't do it right now and expect an answer from anyone US stateside tonight because it's 1:45 am but it's worth a shot if you're just wanting to know weights...

Yeah, I'll post it there also, but given that the 261 rim is rare in the States, I figured I'd ask my fellow Aussies first. No rush on an answer, I'm sure someone will get back to me

Apparently the stock 264s are as follows...
Per member TP 135i the weights on the 264's are below.
Front wheels are 11kg (24.2 lbs)
Rear and 11.92kg (26.2 lbs)

...from what I understand BMW tries to keep their 18"ers within a kg or 2 of each other so the 261s can't be too far off if that helps a little for now.

^ Nice one, thanks. Wonder why my search didn't uncover that thread...
