They are not lightweight wheels unfortunately. I would email American Racing and ask them. I've sent emails to them asking about the weight on some of their wheels. Don't be surprised if they are 35+ lbs. each!!

Thats weird, i just got a reply from them and they told me 43lbs. If i remember correctly from when i got them i'd say 43lbs sounds about right.

Don't know how to explain that, I could almost sware that i was told 34-35lbs. But I'm not about to argue the point. Either way they are a whole lot heavier than the centerlines.
