At TS8.0 yesterday, I decided to go around weighing a few different wheel/tire combos, as a number of us were around, wheels were off, and a digital freight scale was available.

Type 96 17x8 + BS Turanza ER30 or Pilot HX MXM 225/45/17 46lb
Type 68 17x7.5 + Pilot Sport (used) 225/45/17 42lb
BBS RK 18x8.5 + BS S-03 225/40/18 (used) 43lb
BBS RK 18x8.5 + BS S-03 255/35/18 (used) 45lb
BBS CH 18x8.5 + Pilot Sport 225/40/18 45lb

For fun and comparison, we also weighed the following:

Stock X5 3.0 wheel/tire (17" with 245s of some kind I think) 56lb
16" donut spare 25lb
Fikse Aro 17x8 (I think) no tire 19lb

Compare these with weights from my previous weighings:

Type 44 17x8 + ContiSport 225/45/17 45lb
Alpina Softline 18x8 PZero Rosso 235/40/18 36lb
Alpina Softline 18x8.5 AVS ES100 235/40/18 41lb

They are pretty heavy :(

They are about 24 lbs. each . . .
