Anyone know the wheel weight of...
... stock 17" AMG C32 wheels and Brabus Monoblock VI 18" 1-pc & 2-pc. wheels? Interested in getting a set of Brabus, but don't want to suffer too much acceleration loss.
And what would be the drawbacks of not maintainging the staggered wheel sizes, but instead having 18x8.5 in the front and rear? TIA

The stock AMG wheels is around 26/27lbs each (I have not weighed it before, this is a guesstimate). The Brabus Monoblock VI one-piece is around 28/29lbs, multi-piece is 29/30lbs.
Staggered setup with give you better grip at the back and perhaps better cornering. Non-staggered setup will let you rotate the tires. If AMG designed the car with staggered setup stock, I guess you should keep it that way.

Stock Wheel Weight
Harris...you're right on the money about the stock wheel weight (give or take a pound or two). I got a hold of a brand new wheel set (cheap!) for my R compounds and weighed them on my trusty bathroom scale before I had tires mounted.
