Default OEM wheel weight

Hi, all. I just picked up a 2017 RC 300 AWD in base form (white/flaxen). I am looking at replacing the stock 18" 5 spoke rims but I am also trying to keep same or less wheel weight for a square setup. I have been searching all over the intraweb and in here and can't seem to find the weight. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, on a side note - anyone have any experience w Lumarai wheels? The 19" GUNMETAL RIVIERA has my attention at the moment.

Thx.

Default Finally got the OEM wheel weight for 18" base rims

Well, I didn't get many (any) replies here on this one but I did do the research. I guess I am essentially talking to myself at this point. Anyway, I called a bunch of Lexus Parts Depts and finally got someone willing to help and make some calls on my behalf. Gotta love the Lexus staff.

For anyone who's looking, the answer is below:

The weight for the base 18" 5 spoke wheel is 504 ounces = 31.5 lbs.

What, you wanted a whole thread full of "I don't know" replies, or were you just waiting for someone to figure it out for you? We try hard to be accommodating around here, but your above comment is just rude.

Ummm, ok. I was mostly trying to make fun of myself for posting a lame question that got no replies. Next time I will include a smiley face.

It is hard to "hear" your intent. I apologize and will stand down.

All good. Hard to hear tone sometimes - I get into plenty of trouble with my emails that way.
