R56 8 point star factory wheels

HELP, I need to lighten the load and I found some 17s that weight 14 lbs (TRAKLITE 2.0 Teflon® Black)
CAN ANYONE tell me what the factory wheel weight on the 17in R56 8 pt star is? also is there anything lighter than 14 lbs that anyone knows of?

Are you referring to the factory "Crown Spoke" wheels? Weights of factory wheels are listed here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f...factory_wheels

Have you seen this thread on the topic: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=123599
