Default Weight of 19" EVO or HPR5?

I have called HP Design a 3 times to get the weight of the 19x9.5 EVO or HPR5.

Call 1: The first guy confidently said 22#. From searching this site, I did find that the stock WS6/SS rims are around 20-22#, so I was happy.

Call 2: After thinking about it, I realized how light 22# is for 19's and decided to call back to confirm. The guy I talked to told me 14#!!!! I was like, wow these HP wheels are the best deal ever for forged wheels No response back.

Call 3: By the third call, I was expecting the weight to be around 8#. However, the 3rd HP customer service person told me 30#. So, I asked where he was getting his number....spec sheet, shipping weight, what? He said he wasnt sure and that he would go to the warehouse and put the wheel on a scale and call me back. Of course that hasnt happened.

So here I am with the million (well maybe thousand) dollar question....anybody have weights?

If theres one thing I learned from dealing with HP, its that the people who answer the phones are absolute dumbasses.

I just weighed my HPR5's. Mind you, they're 18's instead of 19's, BUT I've had them widened so the extra aluminum added to the wheel should just about offset the extra inch in diameter. The 10's were 23lbs. and the 11's were 24lbs. I'd say if you were gonna err on the side of caution and compare the 9.5 width to the 11 inch width minus an inch of diameter, 24 lbs. would be a safe guess.

Thanks, I'll buy your number. Athough the moment of inertia will be greater, at least they aren't too much heavier than stock.
