Not sure I would trust a phone conversation. The real question is what do they weigh. If you can get that info and are confident about it, that would be definitive as most of the forged BMW wheels in stock M5 size weigh around 27 to 29 lbs, while the cast wheels are in the 35 to 36 lbs range.
Regardless, all of the forged aftermarket wheels are significantly lighter and are wider as well. It all depends on how much you want to spend. You can get nice forged wheels for US$3,500 a set that weigh 24-25 lbs or you can get high-end forged wheels that weigh less than 20 lbs, but cost close to US$10K for a set.
