Default weight of stock wheels?

Anyone know how much the SC430 stock 8x18 wheel, the one used with run flats, weighs? Or where I can find out? Dealer no help and Lexus customer service in California has ignored my inquiry.

Want to compare it to various aftermarket wheels.

CE Boyd, thanks, that is a lot of weight. Some of the aftermarket wheels are down to 22 lbs, 15 less, that ought to make a difference in handling. Will report further if I do anything about this.

Default except

...keep in mind that the sc430 is NOT a light car... cheap lightweight aftermarket rims will bend easily because of this... (IE. Milli Miglia)

...you may want to stick with the better known stronger- lighter wheels like HRE, SSR, Kinesis, Fikse, etc.
