The discussion I'd like to start is centered around the 20'-21 Heritage Edition BBS Forged wheels and the benefits of them as compared to the standard 16'-21' Alloy wheels as a true OEM upgrade.
At face value here are the details I could gather below on the weights from both:
2016-2020 Stock 18" wheel weighs 32.8 lbs (Cast Alloy)
2020-2021 BBS Heritage Edition 18" wheel weighs 27.6 lbs (Forged Alloy)
If these are correct weight numbers there is a potential unsprung weight loss of 5.2 lbs per corner, a significant amount. Adding heavier tires like most of us it would still offset/minimize the weight gain. Less unsprung weight, less wear on all other drivetrain components.
For 2K~ it seems like one of the few true OEM upgrades for 16+ non Heritage Edition.
