Have you had a chance to weigh the 765M wheel (haven't been able to find any weights for the X3M's OEM wheel options)?

Ideally, we will have lots of options to get more section width in both the front and rear on some nice BBS or HRE rims. Personally, I'm hoping for an 20" FI-R fitment with something like 255/265s in front and 295/305s in back. I have no idea if this is even possible, but curious to find out. I'm really liking the potential look of satin black FI-Rs or similar on a Donnington Grey X3M Comp.

Other thoughts/aspirations?

Hope that aftermarket firms will provide wheel weights in their descriptions and images. Given the choice between three or four different wheels with a favored appearance, it would seem logical I should want the one with the lowest weight (assuming I like the looks of all of them equally). Hard to see how savings on unsprung and rotational weight can be viewed as a negative. For those interested, here is a 4-part series which reviews this topic:

I know, I know... 'don't worry about it if you're not going to be tracking it' and 'it's an SUV/truck so if you're worried about this stuff you should be buying a coupe or small sedan', but I actually am interested in taking our X3MC to a drag strip so this would be something I'd be looking at if we upgrade our wheels.
