Dunno if I've seen one before..
So I took out the bathrrom scale. Here goes:
OEM:
Slightly worn (60-70%) Michelin Pilot Sport
235/40-18 & 265/35-18
Average weight
Fronts: 22.4kg
Rears: 24.4kg
CSL (Atomic reps from BM Autosport):
Almost new Michelin Supersport
235/35-19 & 265/35-19.
Average weight
Fronts: 22,25kg
Rears: 23.4kg
So despite being 19" they're actually not heavier than OEM.
People will notice my OEM wheels have wider tires but they are also smaller diameter so in reality should be lighter than std 225/255 ones.
And the rear CSL's has 265/35-19 which are heavier than 265/30-19.
Anyway for comparing 18" and 19" the same width seems logical.

Seems very similar!
(having in mind you have smaller/lighter 19" tires)
And those were OEM CSL's?
I only did my Atomic CSL's as new, without tires:
Front: 12.1kg
Rear: 12.4kg
Seems you don't save that much weight using OEM CSL's.

Yes gen CSL's
I didn't do it for the weight saving as it's almost insignificant and I'd be surprised if anyone could notice the difference, I changed because they are one of the best looking rims.......... ever
