Wheel Weight
What is the OEM 18in turbine wheel weight F/R? They feel like a lot!

I wanted to compare them to the 24.4lb (Front) wheel I am thinking of getting.

I am waiting for the rep to tell me the rear weight.

18" AMG Style V wheels (aka 22 spoke turbine) are 29 lbs front, 31 lbs rear.

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to have the offsets of said wheels as well would you?

Interesting. The Radial spoke AMG wheels are quite a bit different then the "normal" wheels. My SL600 with the Turbine wheels (18") have 32F/40R offsets. Not sure of the weights.

You know, the radial might even be forged from the factory. I have not looked into it though. Thanks for the info!
