AMG GT S & E63 S AMG
I know the high end HRE forged wheels weight about 20 lb or slightly less for the 19" wheels, so I am guessing that the MB forged will be a few pounds more. Maybe 23-24 lbs?

AMG GT S & E63 S AMG
This car is definitely growing on me. It can be a relatively tame 4-door sedan in C and then all hell breaks loose when you press the AMG button. I can only imagine how crazy it will be once I get the tune and some lighter HRE wheels. I have been a BMW fan for quite some time and this AMG has definitely changed my mind. Lately, I keep asking myself if I should trade my 2014 Boxster S and order the GTS. Part of me wants to keep a convertible, and driving a mid-engine car is quite a different experience, but I can only use it top down in Chicago for 7-months at most per year without being too cold. Would the GTS be a better year round fun car?

It's a combination of both. The car was detailed throughly before the Opti-Coat application and it already had a pretty good shine. The Opti-Coat Pro then gives it the extra protection, as well as the "Wet" look. There is a product out there called CQuartz Finest that gives an even better wet shine, and it is a little cheaper than Opti-Coat as well. However, it is a 2-year protection vs 5 on the Opti-Coat.

Thanks! Unfortunately with all the recent snow storms, the car does not look like this anymore. It will again once all the snow goes away and I give it good wash.
BTW, I'm looking to sell my OEM Pirelli P Zero tires for $950 shipped. More details in the Classified Wheel/Tire section. Don't know if it's Kosher to post it here as well.
