Wheel Weights
Anybody know a good site that has the weights of the different wheels for our cars.....AMG, Carlsson, Brabus, Lorinser, etc. I want to upgrade to a larger size wheel, but want to minimize weight, as i will probably going with 10" rears....thanks everyone!

I'm not sure about a website, however, you can call Tirerack and they will you over the phone. I can tell you that I checked the weights of certain Carlsson, Brabus and Lorinser rims and generally speaking, they're freaking heavy.

I had an important point mentioned to me the other day about wheel weights. The tire is just as important! When you get a bigger wheel, your tires have less rubber, and in turn usually weigh less. What should be of concern is the overall weight change, not just the wheels or tires.
A side note:
My tires are bald, does that make me faster?

2001 CLK 55 AMG
This page has all sorts of wheel weights. Towards the end of the month, the page exceeds its xfer limits and won't load, so you'll have to wait for the beginning of the next month to look at it.
I was going to get some Carlsson's until I saw the 33 lb weight, so I went for the SSR's (19 lbs) from TireRack like Waldon has on his CLK.
