Great looking wheel... Is anyone concerned about the 29lb weight?

 

I'm not in the least. My main goal was to get a sharp looking wheel without spending a lot of money (two kids in college, et al). It hits all the parameters for me, for sure.

Now, if my AM was a competition car then yes, I would not be putting on 29 lb wheels on it, nor 19"er's for that matter. But since I'm 99.999 % sure I won't be installing a full cage in the car and 6-points then headed out to SCCA, its not a concern.

So far, among response from my car pals its been 100% positive. They all think the Ace Wheels update the car wonderfully and no one can believe they are only $ 300 a corner.

 

Agreed on the car not being a track car etc. I ask because I put 19" 745 sport wheels on my 740il that originally had 16' basket weave. I thought the car actially felt slower at throttle tip in from stand still - like it was anchored down. Did yours feel any different after installing? Any idea what the factory wheels weighed?

 

Well, I stayed 19" to 19", so there wasn't much difference. I didn't weigh the wheels but the stockers felt a little heavier just carrying them around, but not by much.

 

Awesome! The same or lighter than stock with that much better appearance AND cheap to boot is a great win! Even if they were a smidge heavier it would be a win. I was concerned they were significantly heavier.
