20.2 lbs for 17's is not bad.

sorry, but that's too heavy to me. Maybe 18 at the most, but that's it

Well, I will even go as far as to say that those are some of the lightest 17 'factory' wheels - give or take.

True that's pretty light for 17, and the fact that they're factory.

As a matter of a fact, if those web site numbers are correct, you will see that a 17 wheel from a M3, forged wheel weights 20 lbs. Which means 17 for a cast factory wheel is not that bad.

sorry, that's still to heavy for me :D

Or you can get a set of forged alloy SSR competition that are really light, but the problem with that is if you drive over a pebble you will bend them. I tell you this based on experience. That's the problem that you face with really light weight forged wheels.
