MONOBLOCK weight

I just decided to buy a leftover AMG GT 63S and I love the Monoblocks. Anyone have experience with these vs the other spoked wheels regarding any perceived weight disadvantages? I searched for the weight to no avail, but I'm assuming the Monoblock's rotating mass is significantly higher.

The 21s are forged. Everything else is cast. I would imagine the 21s are close in weight to the 20s even though they're larger i don't know of the weight though.

I love the monoblock but ended up with the 21 inch black cross spoke. If I get bored I may change them out in the future just to give the car a different look.

With that much power, does it really matter how much they weigh?

A larger weight at the wheels affects handling, performance a little bit and more significantly the ride quality.
