...or did someone determine that? I have a bare wheel and a bathroom scale if need dictates.

22 lbs., but the bathroom scale probably isn't too accurate.

22lbs is not too bad for such good looking pair of wheels.

Does anyone know how much the Renntech Wheels weight (they claim to be feather weight)

Some japanese racing wheels can be had for as light as 15lbs for 17"-18"

It's strange, but when I step on the scale, I would swear it's reading about 10 pounds high!!

See Garage
C7 wheel plus stock tire = 44 lbs (per tommy). If the wheel weighs 22, then the tire is also 22 lbs.

Now, all we need is the weight of the Stock 16" wheel and its standard tire. The difference between this weight and the C7 wheel tire combo is the penalty (if any) of the C7 wheel.

Anybody want to dismount a standard wheel/tire combo and weigh, please?
