OZs are great. They might not be the lightest, but 18s are not going to be near as heavy as 19s or 20s. The E92 M3 actually works pretty darn good with 19s and I'd suggest those to anyone not planning to track or AX their cars. OTOH, 20s simply add too much weight and inertia, negatively impacting performance.

1.5" drop is HUGE. Are you not hitting your bump stops?
