Could somebody tell me how much BBS LM's weigh in 18 x 8.5?

I am really having a hard time deciding. Love the LM's and if they are < 21lbs. would do them. Tirerack says ~ 23lbs. I think. Do you think they are played out or not very exciting? Any suggestions. Looking to spend ~ 3K for just the rims.

Thank you. Is that a very accurate database? Your wheels in the sig are hot. Maya STM's?

not sure on the accuracy of the database but it has become a well known web resource

I would assume that checking directly with BBS would be the most accurate way to determine the weight.

I run 19x8.5 M-Classic wheels. Thanks for the compliment!

Good luck with the new wheels. the LMs are so hot.

the BBS "Japan" site lists wheel weight >>>

the 18x8.5 LM with 5x112 bolt pattern is 10.6 kg or just under 23.4lbs. IMO they're not played out at all. Their finish work is superb, and they're really striking in person.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bbs-japan.co.jp/">BBS Japan</a></li></ul>
