Really steams me that BMW delivers these cars with such pig boat wheels. I'm mean I like the way the 442s look and I have them on my 340, but when the engineers got together to make decisions about wheels and tires did unsprung weight enter into the discussion? Of course it did. And yet this is what they deliver. Really reveals the company's priorities. I remember reading that the 19 inch 432s on the M cars weigh around 19lbs. So obviously it can be done. Ya they are forged, but even the 432 reps are in that range. that and the ridiculous runflat corporate offering is just all wrong for a marque that prides itself on driving performance. Just dumb - like throwing cement shoes on a welterweight boxer.
Will be swapping wheels and tires at some point.
