I love those wheels and would love to replace my style 32's with M Parallels, but hear the replicas are heavier and it can make a difference in performance. Would be curious if you have noticed any difference.

I hesitated before getting them and expected to find a performance difference,
BUT to my surplice I don't feel any change in acceleration.

As far as my butt-dino can tell: No difference (except better handling and slightly stiffer ride)

Looks awesome! No rubbage, I presume?

Looks awesome! Did you by any chance weigh the new wheel/tire combo? I'm curious to see how they compare to the OEM Style-42's.

I ran Hamann HM2's in 18" with Bridgestone S-03's on my former 530i. When I removed them and put the factory wheel/tires back on, I weighed both. The brand new Style 42's with Conti's were about 46# each, the Hamann's with 50% worn S-03's were 54# each. 8 pounds is a pretty big difference.

I like the new height and I love the old rims...
