Default Need some comparisons with these 2 rims..

Can anyone help me compare these 2 rims? I couldn't find any information on how deep the lip on the speedy rim is.. well here they are.. They are both 19 x 8.5 225/35/19 (car).

Speedy Octane (chrome lip):


RPM R-505 (CHROME LIP):


If anyone knows any information on the weight difference, lip depth difference, and any other helpful information to compare the two i would be VERY greatfull!

Thanks!
