If you are doing this regularly, why?

20" rims weigh a ton, cost a bunch, and can only fit low-profile tires.

Track cars run 17" - 18" rims for good reasons - replacements are significantly less expensive and weigh POUNDS less per corner. Also, tires are consumables in this hobby, and 17" tires are a lot less to buy than 20" tires.
The wheels might be lighter but the whole package may not make a huge difference. 513M to 437M with tires are only like 1-2 pounds lighter per corner which is miniscule unless your a real trackday hero.

BTW US M2C can only fit a min of 19" wheels due to the larger brakes.

To the OP, I guess you sold your OEM wheels? I would use those if they are still available.

Edit: Cool touring build, wish they did a factory M3 touring.
