If those pennies are burning a hole in your pocket, how about.... shadow chrome!

Two things, age, just like time, is relative to the observer and second I notice that you didn't argue the point that you'd had all the fun sucked out of you

I am not arguing that at all. That is 100% correct, unfortunately.

When you both get to my age you will be just a husk of your former self with absolutely no humour or fun left to be sucked out

Thanks, Mikey, I needed cheering up. That hit the spot!

I'd stick with silver too.

I did wonder about Shadow Chrome when I had my wheels done, but the place that did them said it was impossible to match if I kerbed one so I went off that idea.

Out of interest, has anyone weighed a 326m wheel? I'm getting conflicting information, but I believe they come in at:

Front wheel - 25.5lbs
Read wheel - 26.9lbs

Obviously not the lightest wheels in the world but pretty damn good for an OEM set.

I would seriously hope not. That would be sadder than anything I can think of TBH.

I've shifted a few and can confirm they are fecking heavy with tyres on!

Before the Z4 I used to have an R53 Cooper S, weighing OEM wheels was the official sport of the community

Hopefully someone comes along that can confirm it.

I thought replacing cam chains was. The 'death rattle'.

I never weighed my R53 Cooper S wheels, or Z4 wheels (although I did look up how much the 788m's weighed), but i have weighed many different wheels for the Yeti, if that's of any use?
