Default How much do the wheels weigh?

Has anyone taken the wheels off and measured them? I'm thinking about changing them out, but wanna make sure I'm keeping it lighter than the factory wheels. Which wheel manufacturer would you recommend for lightweight? and quality?

Yikes, that is aweful. SO you could probably save 8lbs per wheel aftermarket.

And you can probably drop a few pounds on tires too, depending on your tire choice(michelin Pilot sports are pretty light).

A quick CL search yields a post where RoRo weighed his stock wheels and tires last April:

This also this thread that states the stock wheels are 25/27 lbs front/rear, and lists literally hundreds of aftermarket wheel weights.
