898m Wheels
Hi,
I wanted to show how the g42 looks on the 898m wheels. I just bought them last week to complement some of the other M Performance accessories on my car (carbon fiber kidney grille, carbon fiber spoiler, m performance exhaust). For me looks better with the classic bmw emblem than it does with the Heritages ones. If u want to see some more pictures, let me know. I think it looks great.

I really like the look of these and have been contemplating ordering a set.
Do you happen to know the weight? I had been trying to find it online but was never successful in finding it. |

Before I bought them, I also tried to find the weight and i found that these wheels weigh around 23 lbs (10.6kg). I wanted to weigh them before getting installed but when i got to pick up the car to the dealer, the wheels were already installed. From what I have read, the 898m are waay lighter than the 792m. (next week i will measure the exact 792s weight) |

If you could let me know the weight of the 792s once you weigh them that would be awesome. I’m curious about the exact weight of those as well. From what I have seen it always seemed to be speculation on those models but not anyone actually weighing them. Edit: if you don’t mind sharing, what did you pay for them? |

As soon as I get the 792s from the dealer, I will let you know the exact weight. (i had to repair a couple of them because i curbed them).
I paid for 898s with the set of tyres around 3500usd but you must consider I live in a country where the VAT is higher than in the US (around 19%). Im planning to sell those new tyres (Pirellis P Zero) because earlier this year I have upgraded to PS4S. |
