ya.

Gosh almighty, you know BMW knows the answer but they can't be bothered. Car company like Lotus will tell you the weight of the optional wheels. It's not hard to do but not many people care.

BMWs weight of the car as a whole is very odd since not one car has been weighed as much as they list the M3 which they list over 3700 lbs.

I believe the Elise wheels (small tho) are in the 14 to 16 lb range.

It would be nice to know for sure what the 19" and 18" weigh.

I can change my wheel order but unless I know what is the lower weight I don't see how to decide.
