Of course, essentially new sets of Style 224 (Z4 M wheels) can be had with tires for cheap as people often try to shed them at car delivery.
The style 107's are not a lot lighter than the OEM CSL's/ZCP's. I've weighed the style 107's on my last Z4 and the rims alone are about 25lbs, which is basically about how much the OEM ZCP's weigh (with the ZCP's being slightly lighter). You're correct that the knock-offs weigh a lot heavier though. The Velocity Motoring CSL reps from **********s weigh close to 30lbs. And both VM and **********s lied about the wheels weight to make sales.
