[s-cars] S8 wheels weigh?

[Pram]

Just a couple data points on wheel weight.

The E55 wheel (AMG monobloc II) is 27.8lb front (18x8) and 28.6lb rear
(18x9).  The AMG monoblocs are not forged (they are cast).
The RennTech forged wheel are 20.5lb front (18x8.5) and 21lb rear
(18.9.5).

I doubt that the S8 Avus wheels are forged.
