Is 25lbs heavy for a wheel?

[bimmer328is]

I'm looking into buying some wheels and was wondering if 25lbs is a reasonable weight for one wheel. Thanks!

what size? for a 17" it's heavy. for a 19" it's mid to light.

The lighter the better :)

Keeping an eye a quality as well of course.

18 lbs is good. Plenty of good quality reasonably priced 17" 18 lbs.

25 is pretty average. The stock wheels weigh that much, and any bling aftermarket wheel will weigh close if not over 30.

oh cool, thanks for the info. the wheels i'm wanting to get are the LTW replicas so i guess that 25 is a pretty reasonable weight. what about the weight on the sport wheels on the 328is? anyone know?

I'd imagine that a 16" wheel like that would weigh maybe 18 lbs...

so would going from 18 lb 16" to a 25lb 17" screw stuff up? I dont want to get the wheels if there might be some noticable perfomance issues. Does anyone have any recomendations for wheels at all? Thanks!
