The end to all STARFISH threads

sorry for beating this to death, i know this has been discussed
HOWEVER,
there are several sources that say the 99+ gt starfish rims are:

17lb
22lb

Has anyone truly WEIGHED their starfish rim?

if they are actually 17lb , which sound awful light for a stock rim, (expensive race wheel light)
would you say they are indeed one of the best strictly PERFORMANCE rim? even if the sidewall is slightly taller, although 45 sidewall is actually a pretty low profile, from a handling standpoint at least.

Im sick of the 18" chrome cobra Rs that the previous owner put on my 2000 gt, why someone would spend that much money to significantly slow down your car is beyond me.

You aren't talking about 17lbs being the weight with rims, tires and air are you? Cause I assure you, that's not correct. When you hear rim weights, those are strictly the rim only.
