What do you all think? Konig Retrack 16x7 (graphite/polished)

Thinking about picking up a set of these for my true red 2.

Would 16's be too heavy? They are something like 15lbs, which doesn't sound too bad. I'm on steel wheels, so I'm sure those are just as heavy if not heavier.

I'm also not sure they have TPMS provisions, I can't find anything about it. I'd sure like to keep that feature. I'd probably go with 205/50/16 tires. I like a meaty tire. This combined with an H&R drop would leave my 2 looking pretty tough looking.

This is off topic, but does anyone know if the vinyl on the white and green car in this picture are available anywhere?

come to my work and itll be available lol i work/design for a car wrap company.

mines unfinished though.

15lbs would kill your fuel economy and acceleration ..2nd gear is guttless enough already ..having said that those wheel would look bad ass on your m2

i hope youre being sarcastic lol 15 is light. even for 16s

What 15" wheels have you found that weigh 9.6lbs? My 2 gets 34mpg minimum. Hard driving mixed with city driving and highway driving. I doubt I could get less if I tried.

edit:

Quick search reveals that the factory steel wheels on the sport are ~16lbs and the alloys are a little more than that. So anything less is better Now I just have to find some super light tires...

9.6 lbs?????? point me in the direction of those wheels please...unless you mean like kilograms or whatever. i think any wheel 10-15 is light. i would think (and i dont know) that toooooo light would mess with traction? and toooo heavy will bogg down power)

I'm diggin' them. Especially all in one color. Kind of a rally type wheel and similar to the Enkei RC-G4 wheel.

15 pounds is pretty good for 16's in my opinion. Your 2 should look bad, as in good.



Pic didn't post.

Oh yeah man, just like the Enkei RC-G4 that weighs 17 pounds.

for 16's yes i was referring to 15's and 15lbs is heavy for the m2 imo

i weighed them with the tires on and they came in at 33lbs, i forgot what size tires they are but they sit square to the lip of rim.

Right..... I was talking about the LOOK and not the weight.
