Default Weight of wheel - GS430 18"

Hello,

Does anyone know the weight of the 18" GS430 wheel from a 2006 model year?

I am going to get some cheapo wheels for my winter tires and I want to make sure they are similar in wieght or lighter... Last set of wheels I had were 32LBS each which was a disaster, didn't do my homework before I bought them..

Thanks in advance.

p.s. The wheels I have in mind are 24LBS so I assume the factory 18" wheels are close to that...

I have 18" GSpyders with snow tires for my GS430. They seem rather heavy compared to the OEM 5 star rims. Anything you use should be lighter since the car comes with run flat tires OEM. I dont have the exact weights but I think they weigh more then 24 lbs.

My E60 M5 OEM 19 inch cast wheels are 26lbs, I presume these wheels are lighter! I am thinking more 24 or 23lbs.

after lifting the stock wheels yesterday? don't think they are that light

and if they are anything close to what the older stock wheels are, then 26 is a good number
