I’m going with a set of 19” Fondmetal Thoes for my winter tires. They’re made especially for BMW’s so factory center caps fit and no spacers are needed.

 
Thank you very much. I searched for it too, but on the BMW homepage is nothing stated and on other retailers I just found the total package weight of 115kg. So aftermarket wheels shouldn't be more than 11kg to have the same range.
I'd argue that the absolute weight of the wheels is not the only thing that'll affect range but also the type of driving you do should be considered. Lighter wheels will certainly require less energy to get going and this will be beneficial in start stop city traffic. Vice versa, a wheel with a slightly higher weight will want to keep it's mass in motion for longer once it gets going. For highway driving and coasting this might actually show an advantage. All in all, I doubt a minute difference in wheel weights will have an extreme effect on range, as I'm sure that the aerodynamic properties of the wheel will also play some part.

These look great! I checked the GMP website and according to them the 19" are only available in 8" and 9" widths. Are these 8" front and 9" rear? The Fondmetals I've ordered come in the same widths, and I was worried the front would look recessed compared to the stock width of 8.5", but on your car these GMPs look mint!
