We appreciate your patience while we researched your request. We are unable to provide a specific weight for these wheels, but we can advise that the 20" 601-M wheel is a casted wheel and the 343-M wheel is a forged wheel and the lighter of the two. We hope this information is helpful.

The BMW Customer Relations and Services Department is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., ET. You can reach us at 1-800-831-1117.

Sincerely,

Emily Dunn

Awesome. Well done. 343M > 601M wheel then. I wouldn't touch the 601M wheel with a bargepole. 20" cast wheel on an M5 is absurd. You would have to go in for wheel balancing every 8 weeks.
