Weight is probably not anywhere near what a 1 piece alumastar or magnum is, not to mention the less than stellar uni-lug design of the Greg Welds.

Don't think you're buying a alumastar or magnum quality wheel for 1/4 the price, you get what you pay for.

I think what Summit MEANT to say is that they are .2 lbs lighter than a ProStar. And they are .95 lbs heavier than a Draglite. and what dlove MEANT to say is that they are heavier than 1 of our designs (the ProStar) but we have 8 other designs in 15x3.5 that were lighter.
