Wheel weight, tire sizes

My '01 Boxster S has the 17-inch Porsche wheels and I'm wondering if someone can tell me how much each wheel weighs. I ask because in the future I may purchase a second set of wheels for mounting R-compound tires on and am trying to compare the weights of the stock wheels with those of aftermarket wheels like the Sport Edition Cup 4.

And speaking of R-comps ... I can't seem to find (either at Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct) R-compound tires in the stock sizes (205/50-17 F, 255/40-17 R). What are some alternate sizes (for 17-inch wheels) in which R-comps might be available?
