What are the lightest 4 stud alloys available at reasonable cost for the E30?
Size doesn't matter in this case! :mad:

the factory bbs e30 wheels are known to be pretty light (around 14-15lb iirc), plus they look good and you should be able to get some pretty cheap

I have 16x7 Rota SubZero wheels that are 14.3lbs each (6.5kg) which I think is fairly light, and the 15" version is supposed to be 5.4kg. Only problem is they need spacers.

Mine aren't that colour though.

The BBS are about 16.27lbs (7.38kg), discussion about them here http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... highlight=

This place http://www.wheelspecs.com/main/index.php has specs, including weights, for many wheels.

That's great info guys saves me taking a tyre off. I've already got original BBS wheels so i might stick with these.
How about steel wheels. Anybody know what they weigh?
