Weight of GTA wheels?

I searched, but did not find anything. Anyone stuck one of these on a scale (without the tire) and still remember what it was? I'd do it myself, but dont want to have the tire removed and reinstalled if I dont have to

Thanks.

mine weighed 9 pounds. for the rear one. I think it is close but I really don't trust that scale much. I think it is probably about 11-12 pounds.

Mine were 17 pounds (plus/minus 1 pound)

But then you're from earth so who knows?

And you're welcome!

how about the camaro wheels (both the inverted star style, and the flat star style)? I heard the GTA rims are the lightest, but by how much?

The camaro wheels are quite a bit heavier than the gta wheels. The gta wheels were specificly chosen for their light weight.
