OK, Weights:
Front: 24.3 lbs
Rear: 25.1 lb
Wheels only.
The sets have left Seattle, probably not to be delivered till Monday, however. The centercaps are out for delivery, though!
Anyone know the torque settings offhand? Or, I'll have to dig out the manual, which is no problem.

Hi,
The Torque Spec is 130Nm or 96 Ft. Lbs.. Be sure to tighten these in alternating sequence, tightening a Bolt's Opposite until all are tightened. It's also a good idea to Torque them in steps, say 30 Ft. Lbs., 60 Ft. Lbs., and finally 96 Ft. Lbs. This will insure greater accuracy. Also, re-check them all after about 50 miles of Driving (Alloy Wheels will expand/contract which can loosen the Torque Settings). Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Got that, thanks, Jim.
I'm an old oil field worker, bolted lots of flanges! Just needed setting. I'd had guessed 100, not far off. I always go in a rotation of opposites, torque in sequences ot 30% and use an antisieze on base of hub. It helps get wheel off better as steel has a habit of 'holding on' to aluminum wheels! This is probably particularly true with the heat generated on this application as well.
