Wheel weight

Anyone happen to know the weight of the 17" silver tentacle spoke wheels for the Cooper S?

Tentacle spoke is a good choice - the lightest OEM 17" wheel.

A list of F56 wheel weights is attached. Sorry, I don't know where I got this from, but I believe it is reasonably accurate.

Yea, pretty light OEM wheel. I like the design for the F56, seems like a pretty popular wheel for the F56 S , seems like many F56 on lot had them. Think they would look good painted black.

I actually have those on my car now, was looking to buy a set of wheels with better tires (replacing the Hankook run-flats I have) and didn't want to buy a couple of anchors for the car's corners.

21 lbs is actually pretty light for a OEM wheel. I was expecting to hear they were 25 lbs or more each. I was looking at a few of sets of wheels (machine faced) on Tire Rack and they were around 22-23 lbs per. Probably wouldn't make a huge difference, but certainly was hoping to find something the same or lighter in weight to what I currently have. Also do not want to spend $1K + for just wheels (regardless of how light they are). Was thinking more like wheels and tires for that $ amount.
