    Originals are forged, replicas are cast.

    as far as the weight, couldn't tell you ,I would think they weigh pretty much the same...

    The Real Ones Weigh less as Forged wheels

    are always lighter than cast wheels.

    Front wheel 18" x 8" : 22.66 lbs
    Rear wheel 18" x 9.5": 23.85 lbs

    These are rims with no balancers.<html>

    ....minimal difference, less than 6% difference

    ... but a couple of pounds none the less.

    how much your 860 weight ? how heavy the 18"

    wheel with 18" wide tires compare to a 17" ? for performance the 17 is the best. for bling the 20" the in betweens are compromissums. <a href="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=56726KDZYN&i=8969"><img src="http://mydrive.roadfly.com/photos/pic.php?u=56726KDZYN&i=8969" border="0"></a>

    Are there 2 part numbers for the 8x18s?

    I remember there being a polished lip number and another number for the same size wheel in a different finish. Dealer took the part number and lost it and I don't know which wheel I need if there are two part numbers.
    The car started shaking badly so I need to replace the wheel or maybe it just needs a new weight and rebalance, the dealer put a large number of weights on it. They almost declared the wheel unsafe during the mandatory inspection as it's gouged pretty bad on the backside rim edge.
