OPE FF06 18x10 +30 = 28lbs
I initially thought these would be a nice cheap alternative to Apex Flow Formed Wheels (SM10) as these OPE wheels are also flow formed, but they are not. They are boat anchors ?

Another affordable, light & flow formed staggered option for folks is this:
Fast FC08 18x9.5 +38 = 20.0lbs
Fast FC08 18x10.5 +38 = 21.4lbs

WOW and I almost pulled the trigger on the FF06s thinking they would be ~20lbs... thanks for sharing!

I tried getting the Fast FC04's for my Z4. It's hard to find these, they basically come out of Canada, and most places don't ship to the US. I eventually ordered from Toto Tires, they said they did ship to the US and Google maps showed they had an actual shop w/ cars out front and etc. so I ordered... But they ghosted me after payment, I gave it a month with a lot of attempted communication all along, and then had the credit card company get involved and eventually reimburse me. I think it was Wheel Wiz that also looked like they could do ship to the US but I eventually went with plan B.

I ended up with some Aodhan FF7 shipped out of California, ordered from their site. Arrived in a few days. No runout, spun nicely on a tire balancer (shop checked them first). But they hit the front brake calipers, in front, I had to use a 5mm spacer to give them about 2.5mm of actual room afterwards. These were square 19x9.5 with ET35mm. Not far off from stock for offset actually but the spoke design was such that they hit anyhow. I didn't measure their weights but they were far lighter than stock, I'd estimate 10lbs. Something like 20 vs 30 wouldn't surprise me. Certainly low 20's vs. high 20's.

These are my "winter wheels" if that pertains at all.

Edit: They claim 20.7lbs

5mm spacer required (minimum) up front, I did a 10mm rear for appearance. Works as a square setup if you don't mind the spacers.

Yah I'm in Canada so my local tire shop was able to get me the FAST FC08's very easily. I did order some Dinan 8mm spacers for the front.

Weld laguna drag wheels (17x10)... supra fitment, part # S15270045P40

23.7# each, heavy as fuck. On my calibrated postal scale

There is no curve in the spokes, they are straight, so a good portion of the weight is just the huge block of aluminum in the center hub, to get the offset/rim height. This is good at least, because weight there will affect rotating mass the least. WAY thicker then your typical apex/titan/stock wheel in the center hub - but all of those have curved spokes to the hub. Just my observations.

Buy the titan drag pack instead (which are 18.7#) unless you get these on sale like I did. They do have serrated bead faces.

Are we sure that the 2023+ oem wheels are 20/21 lbs? I thought they were around 21 lbs for the front and 22 for the rears?

I like the rim design, but I've had my eyes on a the Apex VS-5RS. I like that design style a bit more. Just need to pick a color. I'm leaning towards satin black to camouflage the horrendous amount of brake dust coming from the stock pads.

I don't know the weight of the wheels I have on order and can't find them anywhere online, but I'll weigh them and post here when they arrive early July.

agreed! But they didn’t come in the color I wanted (Motorsport gold). So I went with the sm10s instead which still look lovely.
