Default Blade or Tornado?

Which is the better 20 inch factory wheel for performance? The Blade or Tornado? Anyone know how much these weigh?

Should be pretty close to each other. They're both cast wheels.

Even switching to a wheel with a massive weight savings you won't notice the performance gains on the street in terms of acceleration.

Not so sure they are both cast, the Blades are listed and advertised by JLR as "forged", but of course that may just be marketing hype.
The other thing that leads me to believe that they may in fact be forged is that they have no markings/castings on them at all (ie no maker/country/name/size/ET etc as shown on nearly all cast wheels).
I've always wondered if they really are forged, does anyone know for sure?

Yea they're forged I was thinking of a different wheel. At least that's what all the marketing says.
