ive got 21.8lbs. dont quote me as that being an exact number cause i personally think they feel a little heavier but thats me weighing them on my personal digital scale. i definetly like the second set better especially if you can get a bowtie center for it. not a fan of the first set too many spokes for me. anyway i hope this helps.

I agree, I like the second set better too......

This is half the reason I just chrome plated my factory wheels because I did not want anything heavier than stock. I also look at the weight of the tires I buy, I won't buy anything if its much more than the weight of the factory tires(which seem to be one of the lightest tires in my size). But I hated the OEM tires, so when I bought new ones they actually weight 2lbs more than the OEM Goodyears, but I can live with that for a MUCH nicer tire....I was amazed at how many tire in my tire size were 28-31 pounds....The OEM's were only 22lbs. Thats a big difference.
