Default Wheel weight?

Just the wheel itself

How much do the Stock WS6 wheels weigh 17x9
does anyone know how much with a 275/40/17 tire on it as well?
vs.
Fikse FM5's 17x9.5 and 17x11?
Anyone with 275/40/17 and 315/35/17
vs.
TTII's 17x9.5 and 17x11?
Same tire size as above?

which will be THE lightest? I've heard Fikse weigh 18 lbs in 17x9.5? and i assumed something like 20 lbs for the 17x11? and ive seen TTII's at 20+ lbs 17x9.5 and 24lbs at 17x11? My guess is stock without a tire on it is 20lbs but im unsure...somehwere ive also seen the figure 26lbs

Please provide as muhc info as possible

The Fikse's must be pretty close to mine I would think in an 18" size, but the popular 17" Fikse might weight even less.

Mine are iForged "3" piece Aero wheels

18 x 9.5 = 19 lbs

18 x 10.5 = 20 lbs

Thanks Slam. It was exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking about getting some factory 16" chrome rims to replace the painted snowflakes. So much for that idea.
