Weight of the OEM SL63/SL65 AMG Forged Wheels?
Anyone know the weight of front and back? Wolfman and Iridium both have a set, if folks are wondering which wheels these are.

If you want to search, here are the PN's
A 231 401 02 00
A 231 401 23 02
Color 7X21
Occasionally there are great deals for take-offs. List is above $11k, which isn't worth it. Get HRE's or ADV's if you spend some money for forged wheels.
Good luck!

MBWorld Fanatic!
Was never a fan of most MB OEM wheels (forged or not) except for the original Monoblock II of way back and AMG VI 2pc from CL/S of late 2000s. Of course taste is personal and is not arguable.
An other wheel choice, without breaking a bank, is flow form technology wheels. Tire Rack has them for Advanti Racing DST series (if you like the designs - there are three wheels to choose from) (I chose Motegi Racing MR126 since it matches my car's color much better): front 20x8.5 are as low as 22-23lbs range while rear 20x10 are only 25lbs. Combined with Michelin PSS or Pzero tires - the lightest 20" summer tires - savings over stock's heavy 19" wheels and heavy run flats is about 10lbs per corner.
