wheel weights

for whoever that might care
Stock CLK 430 AMG Wheel
Front 17/7.5 with Conti 225/45/17 40lb
Rear 17/8.5 with Conti 245/40/17 41 lb

19" Chrome AMG CL 1 pc
Front 19/8.5 with AVS 235/35/19 51lb
Rear 19/9.5 with AVS 265/30/19 53 lb
increase of 46 lbs of unsprung weight vs stock setup.
Somebody ones told me that a 1lb of unsprung weight = 4 lbs of sprung weight. if we assume this to be true, it means that rolling on my wheels is like always having somebody who weight 184lb with me at all times. just thought i should share the info

I've heard anywhere between 3 lbs and 10 lbs. Bottom line: unsprung weight is bad.
