18" Dual spoke AMG wheel weight
So before I put on my DPE wheels that are coming I thought Id weigh my wheels/tire combo. The front total at 59.8lbs, rear at 62.4lbs. Seems fairly high to me for the AMG wheels.
I have Dunlop SP Sport 9000s and the front tire weighs 27lbs and rear at 29lbs. That leaves your front AMG wheel at 32.8lbs and rear at 33.4lbs. Personally I see this as being slightly on the heavier side.
I got 20" DPE 2piece forged wheels coming in a few weeks, and estimated weight on those are going to be between 25-27lbs. Im going with Kumho tires on those, and they only weigh 29lbs for the front and 30lbs for the rear. So even going up 2" in diameter im still going to be at the same or less in total wheel weight.
