Wheels for AMG GLE 63 S Suv

I am getting new 21” wheels for my GLE 63 and putting snow tires on my existing wheels.
I am looking at Vossen HF-5 wheels but am wondering if they are heavier than my stock AMG 21” wheels. If that is the case I could switch to Vossen 21” S21-01 forged wheels.
Does anyone have info on this or have suggestions for 21” wheels? I run all season tires because I live in Minnesota.
Thanks!

I don't think the OEM 21s are forged and the HF-5s are "Hybrid" Forged which usually means they are nominally lighter in static weight but the rotational forces required to turn the wheel are much less due to the weight distribution in the wheel... So essentially a lot lighter than OEM.

Why not run 22's with all seasons since you have a winter set. I live in Chicago and as soon as I burn thru these MPS4s I'm going to replace with Nitto all seasons for summer. I have a dedicated winter set of 21s as well.

You are correct….. I did more research and the AMG 21” wheels are not forged. I chose to stay with 21” because of a little softer ride, and because there are a lot more tire options in 21”
Now I need to decide between Vossen Hybrid Forged HF-5 and Forged S21-01. The S21-01 are 4 times the price of the HF-5. Don’t know if he difference will be noticeable.

Personal opinion.. The difference will not be noticeable with all season tires to notice. Back in the day you only had cast and forged wheels. Not with Flow formed, rotary forged, or hybrid forged *** Vossen calls it you get very similar performance at a MUCH cheaper price. I assume you're not racing your 6,000 lb SUV (of course not since you're using all-seasons) so you won't notice the difference.
