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.

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.

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.
