they're cast and likely high 40 lb range ..... for a 22 that's going to make it venerable with thin sidewall....NOLA isn't noted for it's fine roads ! Just drove thru running the E63 back from Va to TX this weekend....
40lbs or so ..... if you haven't swapped out shocks it'll be a godawful ride.... I test drove a 11' G55 on fake Brabus 22's and it was horrible on Texas streets...
Let me know if you @selenite_C63s do this wheel swap. Been looking at similar style 22's for dedicated summer tires. I have the original AMG 20's on my G63 with NItto Ridge Grapplers for my winter setup.
A car from 1979 is always going to be a bad ride. Humanity has come a long way in the realm of ride quality since the G was designed no matter how much factory restomod the particular model has, just saying.
I don't get the no sidewall idea for a 3 ton vehicle..... if you really want handling then widen the track and put 325's in an 18" or max 20" on and some decent shocks.... my 55 with it's track widened by 5" overall even lifted is almost huckable into most corners.... our G63 we ran same width but 305's and mild 40mm spring spacers and it was even better ( and faster with the e40 tune....)
Understood - it's all a matter of what ya' like.... 20's are viable - I ran a custom offset Forgestar F14's on my G63- reasonably priced at about 2800 for a set of 5 20x10.5 et 25 semi-forged.... and they were about 25lbs ! they held up really well on our trip to Moab / Ouray offroad and ran well at speeds running back to TX..
