Anyone know the weight of 18 " W211 AMG rims

I am trying to decide if I want to replace my stock staggered setup with the SL55 AMG rims. Seems like those rims are little porkers but before I pull the trigger I would like to know what our stock rims weigh, F & R....

I know the weight of the SL55 rims so I just need our weights

~29lbs

I am running the 18" but 9.5 inch in the rear and 9 inch in the front and love it. The difference in weight (from wider rims and tires) is minor for me, since the handling is so much better. If you stay with stock tire sizes, then your car's balance will not change and so you may notice the lag more. After all, going to 255 / 275 isn't much of a jump.

My rims are 8.5 F and 9.5 R which is the stock W211 AMG Rim width, is'nt it. How can your 9.5 and 9 both weigh 29lbs.
