Default anyone know the stock wheel weight w/ tires?

I'm kinda curious how much stock wheels weigh w/ tires. getting my wheels soon so i want to know how much heavier (if heavier) they will be. I plan on getting 19x10's (40lbs or less w/ tires) on my is250 6sp man~ so i dont' want to be super slow haha. I would get 19x9 but the company i'm getting them from do not make it in that size.

I would guess the dunlops are 28-30lbs or so, so I would think the 18x8.5s run at 22lbs or so. You can probably shave 4-5lbs with lightweight wheels, and another 4 lbs running michelin pilot sports, or Toyo Proxes TS-1s

Actually, the dunlops only weigh about 24-26 lbs. Most cast aluminum OEM 18" wheels weigh about 23-26 lbs.

The lightest one piece forged 18" will weigh about 18 lbs.

Front - 49 lbs (225/40R18)
Rear - 55 lbs (255/40R18)

Well, I was just guessing at the seperate weight of the wheels. But either way, you can still shave off 8-13lbs per wheel if the rear combo is 50-55lbs.

Light tires -24lbs, light wheels 18lbs = 42lbs.
current set 50-55lbs

Anyone know what just the stock wheel weighs? It is easier to shop around for lighter wheels if you know what weight you are starting from.
