I thought the Summits were a couple pounds heavier but not much.
My old Weld prostars with a 275/50 MT Dr weighed a ton more over the GWs and 27x10.5 QTPs I would guess more than 10lbs per wheel heavier.

most of that was probably due to the drag radial being lot heavier than the QTP.

The Jeg wheels have a funky back spacing and they are stamped not for use with a tire over 26" I believe.
