lol... I'm only 30 and the S-class definitely isn't for me.. My parents are looking to get an S600 and I was just wondering for curiosity sake... Apparently the stock 18 inch wheels on my C55 are lighter than the 17's on the C32, so I thought maybe there was a possiblity that the sports pkg wheels were actually lighter or the same weight as the stock S600 wheels...

"Wheels Highly polished forged 6-hole design. 8.0J x 18 front and rear." as per the MBUSA web page.

S600 non sports are the only MB's to offer forged wheels. They must be lighter than the sport wheels and I bet stronger too!

They do look really funky if oyu sit and look at them... hmmm

I would still get the non sport wheels because forged wheels are just that much stonger.
