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.

The 202 (which looks the same as a 107) is definitely lighter.
202 (18")
F 11.23 Kg
R 11.93 Kg
127 M3 CSL (19")
F 12.62 Kg
R 13.79 Kg
Sure, the 202 is only a 18" wheel, but I prefer 18" anyway for lighter weight, better road manners, and less risk of kerbing and/or bent wheels. Plus I think it looks better to have a little meat on the wheel. The Z4 M wheels are 11.2 and 11.7 Kg's respectively. Even better and not bad for OEM. As for aftermarket, the BBS CH is quite a bargain, is a strong wheel, looks great on Z4s, and is a light wheel for basically a cast wheel (but rim is rolled to shape).
