Im looking to get a lighter set of wheels on my car, i originally had the 20 759's, cracked one over the winter, picked up a set of 706M reps, new tyres due soon so I'm thinking of a new setup in 19 inch, which will also give a bit more sidewall on the tires too

I came across the Motec Ultralight MCR2, however i only see them in g30 fitment in an 19 x 8.5 Et28 so 245/40/19 square tire setup, i would obviously lose the wider rear. Mine is xdrive so i need to be careful of tyre sizes and also there is limits to how wide you can go on an 8.5" wheel



Anyone running a similar sized setup on a xdrive g30?

not sure of the details to your query, but have you considered something like this to allow for wider rears?

probably a bit heavier then what you are considering...

I’m running stock 19” rims and I still mess up a rim on a pot hole. Sucks.

I have 3 sets of stock rims. One winter set and 2 summer sets. Let $ and more effective then insurance.

Thanks for the link, ill have too look up the spec on them and the weight etc,
the main goal is lighter wheels with G30 CB so no need for spigot rings, staggered is a nice thing to keep but not the end of the world i guess, ill keep searching for 19 options and see what i can find

I have some Ispiri on mine, they are 20s (and cast) and weigh 13.8 -14.1kg fronts/rears respectively. They are a direct fitment without the need for spigot rings or spacers.

you could get something like the FFR6 from ispri in 19s, which hover around the 10kg mark https://www.iwautomotive.com/iw-ffr6.html

Yep the FFR6 caught my eye, a friend has them on his Rs3, they are on the short list for now

A few more days of research and i think I've settled on these:

https://velonity.com/tec-speedwheels...777-319024798/

8.5 front and 9.5 rear, with 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear for tires

The have a a useful 3d configurator on their site to help visualize your wheel choices

I finally got a set of new wheels, from a company in Germany TEC Speedwheels GT-Race I in Matt bronze

Front wheels are 8.5x19 et25 8.5kg
Rear wheels are 9.5 et36 9.15kg, so about 4 kg per corner lighter .
Tyres are Continental sport contact 7
I'm lowered on MSS springs about 30mm










I might lower the rear end a small bit and get some 5-10mm spacers to play with the wheels sitting a bit more flush in the arch
