Brabus Ronal H2 18×8.5 ET35 wheel weight

The best way to weigh wheels on a scale is to weigh yourself and get the figure and then go back on with the wheels and check the difference.
And yes, most big body Benz style wheels are going to be pretty heavy. I think I heard of some amg mono block wheels being in the 30# or more range..
Light weight wheels do wonders in freeing up suspension reaction, and ride quality imo.

Yep, the couple of Brabus wheels that I've had in hand were surprisingly heavy. ±30 lbs for 17-18" diameter. Most MB or AMG wheels in similar sizes tend to be mid/upper 20's, some are higher. Data I have for 17-18" Monoblocks is right around 27 lbs. Highest I've seen are the 18" AMG Styling III at 32-33 lbs each.
I use a digital refrigerant scale that is accurate within a claimed 0.05% (better than a tenth of a pound at ~30 lbs). Bathroom scale accuracy varies widely, some could be off a pound or two, or only read to 0.5-lb resolution. We recently bought an eufy P2 Pro scale (link) that I've been impressed with, it reads in 0.1lb increments, and appears to be accurate within a few tenths - better than most. (Our old scale read in half-pound increments and was not consistent.)
But yes, what Arauz says above is correct: best to weigh yourself with & without holding the wheel, and do maths. Compare this to the wheel by itself on the scale for grins but the "maths" reading is probably more accurate, if the numbers don't match closely.
