OEM wheels are somewhere in the region of 12,5kg per rim (no tire)

yes. they are heavy.

Is it worth replacing to lighter wheels ?

but i am not sure yet..

Hopefully with OEM wheels being normally heavier that aftermarket, they are also more resistant to deformation.

only forged light wheels. they benefit the car
