humm..LM sure look nice. I will put that in concideration.

So 23 pounds for 19 inch, is that concider to be heavy?

I m looking for 18. No more then 18, cuz the law in Vancouver now is that u can only have 1 size up. If they catch u, they will either give u a VI or in the worst situation, tow ur car.

Definitely a no-brainer. Go with SSR Competitions. They are the lightest, best looking wheels.

Yeah, that SSR rims do look nice.

However, it is a Japanese rim, i think it is kinda out of place in a M Coupe.

I want something that is european.

23lbs on a 19" rim is'nt too bad, I know RD has some rims that are 19 lbs a piece but cost about $1200 a rim retail. FWIW the hamann pg3s in 19 weigh about 34lbs....

Most O.Z rims are heavy. Cuz Hamann rims are made by O.Z. But they do look really nice, thats for sure. I think i will stick with CH then.

But does any know how much does the Hartge Classic weights??

hey man, no offense, but I think you're a little too caught up in things that don't matter. Weight yes, cost yes, looks of course, but not getting a rim b/c it's a japanese made rim is pretty silly. The competition happens to be extremely lightweight and looks good too, and is affordable. Who cares where it's made? Does the Evosport e46 M3 project car look bad because it has SSR Gt3's on it? HEEEEEELLLLLL NO!!!

I agree with what u said. But i still think it is out of place. Is like fitting TE37 on a Porsche. I mean, it just doesn't seem right. Thats me however.

Yes that M Coupe with SSR looks good, but i still prefer european wheels. It will be my first choice for sure.

But the ACS Type III 2 piece looks really nice!!
