New 2007 SL55 Wheels Lighter?

Does anybody know if the weight of the new SL55 wheels are lighter than the ones previously on the SL65 aka the double spoke bolted?

2007 19" SL55 wheel - same as CLS55 ?

did you ever get an answer on this? I would like to know the weight also.

In addition. is this the exact application as the CLS? The CLS55 shares a similar looking wheel....

The answer is no. Those are still cast wheels and weighs a ton.

Which question are you answering with No?

I see that they are heavy.

Does the R230 share the same wheel / offset as the CLS? I was wondering if wheels off a CLS55 will fit on my R230 - they look the same....

I'm referring to the weight.

The fitment of the CLS 19" rims is:
Front Size: 19x8.5
Wheel Offset: +25mm
Weight: 35.3 lbs.

Rear Size: 19x10 Rear
Wheel Offset: +28mm
Weight: 36.6 lbs.

I think SL55 can use the same size and offset. The SL65 rims has a more aggressive offset though
