AmgBoy these wheels are NOT heavy! 19" 26lbs is not considered HEAVY. I have a "light weight" set of BBS LMs in 18x8.5 that weigh 22lbs. comparatively these are definitely not heavy.

ben at wheelsboutique.com got me 20% off msrp for 547r's, theor lightest wheel. remember, 1lb in unsprung weight saved gives you an (effective) increase of 0.7hp call everyone and compare.

well if you multiply the .7 by 60lbs that you save from changing from brabus to hres.... then thats pretty significant.
