For the M2 CS, every little bit helps with performance. Lighter wheels can help reduce rolling resistance, potentially boosting fuel efficiency—but it’s marginal. Handling is where you’ll really feel the difference.
I’m all for lightweight wheels, but what about ride comfort? Can lighter wheels make the ride too harsh?

Good point, Barbara! It can be hit or miss. Some lightweight wheels may compromise comfort, but high-quality options strike a nice balance between performance and comfort.
Is there a brand or model that you particularly recommend for the M2 CS?
Vossen and HRE make excellent lightweight wheels that fit well with the M2 CS. They look great and perform even better. Definitely worth checking out!
I love my HRE wheels! The difference in handling was immediate, and they look fantastic too. Plus, they save quite a bit of weight.
Considering the cost of lightweight wheels, is it even worth it for a street car? What do you all think?

If you’re into spirited driving, the investment pays off. The difference is noticeable!
I feel lighter wheels would make a difference for track days. For daily driving? Maybe not a huge leap. Each to their own, depends on how you drive!
My buddy says lightweight wheels are like wearing flip-flops while driving instead of boots. He swears by it but he’s also a bit of a jokester. Anyone else feel that way?
