Default Anyone know the weight of the stock wheels?......

Or would anyone be so inclined as to weigh one of their mounted wheels/tires then subtract 25lbs if you have Michelin and 26lbs if you have the Pirelli. Thanks.

Default 54.4 lbs: wheels, TPMS, Dunlop M3's....

TireRack lists the M3's at 27 lbs.

54.4 (total) - 27 (tire) - .4 TPMS (just a guess) = 27 +/- 1 lbs for the wheels

Default You are dead on....

According to Tirerack's spec chart, the tire weighs 27 lbs. That would leave 27.4 for wheel +TPMS module. 27lbs is decent for an OEM wheel in this size.

Now......I know that Dinan offers 19x9.5 wheels for the BMW 3 and 5 series that weigh 19.75 lbs each. Anything comparable out there for the R.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Default And I thought my cheapo $139 AT Italia winter wheels were heavy (also 27 lbs)

Several people here have the Tirerack winter setup consisting of AT Italias and Dunlop M3's in 225x18. Since the factory PZeros and the Dunlop M3's are both 24 pounds, then the Tirerack winter setup is the same weight as stock, not heavier like we speculated.
