I also wanted to do something a little differently as most go with a 18/19 or 19/20, you know me, always have to be different

I did not get a chance to weigh them, but they are lighter than the OEM wheels + tires by several pounds, even the 20s. I will weigh them at some point, but wanted them ON the car LOL.
I understand all too well about the refusal to break up sets... I'd be curious to see the weights of the rears. I ended up losing 5 pounds per corner on fron, and six pounds each on rear.

Steve can verify this, but I'm almost certain the SRT-6 brakes and SLK32 brakes are identical... 330mm hats with two-piece calipers. Not too bad on cost. The $$$ is in C32 aluminum calipers, and the optional two-piece rotors from Racing-Brake
