X5M and X6M wheel weights

Does anyone know the wheel weights? I understand that the X6M has forged wheels vs cast wheels on the X5M, so there will be an advantage for the X6M but I'm sure both are on the heavy side. Has anyone weighed theirs?

Exactly what I needed...thanks!

Looks like the forged wheels only save 1 lb each or so...but the stock X5M wheels sure are heavy!! Fronts are 41 lbs and rears are 42.5 lbs. A good set of forged rims could easily save 10 lbs per corner. Add that to the tire weight savings and 75 lbs of rotating unsprung mass can be dropped...that's amazing!

I can already feel a big difference with the tires...so with wheels also it would be that much better.
