Yeah. Didn't want to go to the post office or the gym and drag a ~50 lb wheel in there with me. Bathroom scale is just fine for me and seems to be close to what others are getting.

according to the Tirerack, the 225's are 23 lbs and the 255's are 27 lbs.

So, my guess would be 25 lbs for the fronts and 27 for the rears.

Thank IS guru's, I need to know so I can get some lighter wheels when I go to buy, at least the same weight. I don't want to loose any performance by doing a wheel upgrade..

According to Sewell Lexus/Lexus-parts.com (and thanks to them for the info):

Front ISP/Spider weight 30.65 lbs
Rear ISP/Spider weight 31.8
Factory front 28.8 lbs
Factory rear 29.6 lbs

I really wanted G-Spiders but I'm looking to lose weight on wheels/tires. Guess I'm going to have to save up for some BBS.

Wow! You're one of the few on this board that seems to be worried about what heavy wheels do to performance.

Yeah, me too. The problem is BBS doesn't make CH's for the 350 (i.e. 8.5" rears w/the correct offset)!!!
