Weight, in pounds, from the MAXBMW parts fiche, R1200GSW
Code:Front Rear Wire 13.62 11.97 Cast 14.11 10.1
Differences are small enough that I'd not use weight as a deciding factor.
What are your thoughts on mag wheels vs. spoke wheels ? I ride 80% on the road, will do some fire roads, not likely to cross Utah or Colorado off road. Can Mag Wheels handle moderate off road duty ?
Ask your parts man (or the MAX BMW parts fiche) what the replacement cost is for each type of wheel. That probably ought to factor in to a decision.

Ouch, a set of spoke wheels cost $725 more than cast.

I see different weights on the MAX site for the GSW.
Front wire is 14.11 lbs and the front cast is 11.77 lbs.
MAX shows the set of wire wheels weighs 4.21 lbs more than cast wheels.
I don't know if the weights on the parts fiche or accurate, or if they are just shipping weights.
