Lighter is not equal with the idea of 20" rims on your E46.

Says the guy with 16lb rims... ;)

I agree though; there is a reason they only put 19" rims on an M3 CSL - two words: "rotational inertia". Even if you get 20" rims that are as light as other 19" rims, they will still "feel" heavier because the weight is being spun further away from the Hub.

Point is, if you want 20" rims get 20" rims, but don't think you'll find 20" rims AND have performance still. Can't have your cake and eat it too... ;)

Oh, but if you are truly in the market, you can get some nice magnesium rims for about $6000 that fit the bill of what you are talking about... or you could step up and get carbon fiber rims with magnesium hubs, or carbon fiber rims with titanium hubs for only about $15,000. :thumbup:
