ummm, just a wild guess, but for the 18s i think they weight about 25-26lb usually (just for the rim). the rim with tire, i say around 50lb?

I thought you were asking about the weights used to balance the wheel!

Default LS 460 wheel weight - 27 lbs, 15.3 ounces

I have an extra set of OEM 9-spoke wheels.

Just weighed one on our postal scale and it shows 27 lbs, 15.3 ounces. That's without TPMS sensors.

The only way this informs us if we had definitive weights for entire wheel setups. Including the OE tires for those wheels and could then compare to good aftermarket options. This would be for the OEM 18" and 19" options.

I assume it is to try and shed a bit of weight. Lighter wheel/tire combos pay dividends at speed. Better mileage, suspension is more reactive, following the road surface more easily, brakes work better, etc... If one could shed 3-5 lbs per corner it would make a significant difference.
