Check out this wheel....

What do you guys think of this OZ wheel?
It's called the Superleggera....
Does anyone have these on their CLS?

They weigh only 15pds in a 17x7 size... But I believe they are cast not forged or spun/cast like the SSR's.

Looks like it might bend easily with those thin spokes, but it does look pretty good.

I wonder how much 18s weigh.

And I wish I could remember where that site was that listed the types of wheel manufacture and which was the strongest (I thought it was forged.)

The 18x8 weighs 17.6 not bad for an 18".....

They do look nice, I've been checking them out for a while now, but I think wheels with thicker spokes look better on the CL-S.

Yeah... I'm not really into any particular wheel right now. The requirements are light weight and good looks. The tirerack wheel selector does not cut it on how the car is going to look. So I keep surfing to find pics...
Does anyone know of any other wheels that are light weight?

If 19 lbs is light enough for you, then 17" Racing Hart C2 is a classy one to look at. Also, Racing Hart CP10 at 1 lb/in is also pretty reasonable.
