The new AMG 20" forged wheels seen on the latest E63S 4matic + info as follow:

Max load rating 690 kg

that's a bit more weight than I thought. I was thinking they ought to be in the 24-26 lbs range

I guess considering the car weights nearly 2 tonnes with 612hp (850NM), they calculated that it requires 690kg load rate, that adds on to the weight of the wheels.

Since BBS rid or fI dont offer this offset, i was enquiring about HRE p101, that comes with 675kg max load rate and 20/21 lbs (9kg /9.5kg).

HRE p101 is significantly weight less due to lower load rate (675kg vs 690kg), but the question is would anyone go for 675kg whereas the factory is going for 690kg after their calculation.

Wow that is heavy.

PS - HRE builds all their wheels to the load rating needed for each individual vehicle so you never have to worry about the durability.
