The difference with reducing rotating mass sure is noticeable isn't it? I know there was an OEM forged 18" wheel option for G35/G37(?) at some point, did you go for that?
Your mercedes entry and the weight reduction discussion reminds me of my dad's E550 brake rotors. Each rotor weighs more than my entire wheel and tire assembly, 40ish pounds vs 36 pounds. That car is pretty quick as is, I could only imagine what it would be like without such heavy brakes and wheels.
