Don't know the weight. But my wheels are heavy. REALLY heavy. My 17x11 rears are back breaking to pickup with tires on.

after carrying them to the shop, they felt almost exactly the same as my factory rims. Don't know if that helps but my zr-1's aren't chrome. I think chrome IS heavier.

I weighed my ZR1s with my 275/40/17 Firestone Firehawks(front), Nittos(Rear) and they were 52lbs per wheel and tire I can't wait to get my Weld Prostars

I plan on running my Weld Prostars on the street and they are not to expensive, and fairly light I believe. Plus I love the look of 4th gens with the skinnies up front and the fat tires out back

I never weighed my old AFS chrome ZR1s but the 17x11s weren't that much heavier then the 17x9.5s but the 315s were A LOT heavier then the 275s. All the weight was in the tires.
