Forged vs Cast OEM - what's the weight difference?
 
I've searched and found some people who weighed the cast wheels - but cannot find the OEM forged wheel weight anywhere.

Yes, would also like to know , as I'm getting ready to order a E 63 S sedan and would like to order the lighter of the 2 wheels

Just speaking in general terms forged wheels are lighter than cast. So if you want light just get the forged ones. Now how much lighter they are I can't answer.

Y forged def lighter, but wonder if by 2 lbs or 5. I'm just going to order them.

Yes, would be nice to know the numbers, same for the Carbon Ceramic Brake option, brochure says 40% lighter than the stock set-up, but no exact # ?

I believe the stock front rotors are 29 lbs. So therefore about 11.5 lbs savings per front corner on the CCBs.
