Default Weight of American Racing 200s or TTII?

Anyone know what these weigh and how it compares to the ZR1s? I'm most interested in the 17 x 9.5, although would be curious about the 17 x 11s too.

Thanks

I don't know the weight, but I've owned 2 sets of AR 200S's. With Nitto 315's, the 17x11 were freaking heavy! I about killed myself lugging those around.
In fact, I went from a big/little setup, to these, and then back to big/little setup. There was a noticeable performance loss from the heavy wheels and then the gain back when swithing to the prostars.

Prostars aren't suitable for a daily driver though, right? Wouldn't they bend if you hit a big pothole?

Didn't weigh them, but my TT2's (17x9 fronts and 17x11 rears) felt heavier than the stock 16x8 chromes. The 17x9's felt a little heavier and the 17x11's felt much heavier. The car itself feels a little heavier when driving too, but the traction gain is worth it. 315's vs 245's is night and day, especially when going from stock RS-A's to a decent tire too.
