I have never weighed my rims so I would not be able to tell you. I have heard that OZ boast about having some of the lightest wheels on the market. Mine were already on the car when purchased.

This I have read, "If considering rotational enertia test show that 1lb of tire weight is equal to 8lbs add to vehicle weight while 1lb of wheel weight is equal to 6lbs added to the vehicle weight"

Times this by 4 and it adds up quick.

You can google Dave Coleman and rotational inertia.
