Default Stock 17" wheel weight

Hey all. Quick question. Does anyone know the stock wheel weight of the 17" tire on an 05 gt. It's not the classic old style look wheel, for lack of a better description. It's the 5 star with centre cap. Anyway, thanks for the help

Here's the actual wheel, if this helps:



ok, maybe a better way to pose this question:


I'm looking at a set of American Racing Black rogue 20" wheels.
the weight of these wheels, listed on Tirerack.com is 30 pounds.

Now lifting this 20 isn't heavy at all, but i relly don't wanna "guess" at the weight of the stock wheel. i'm just wondering if someone knows the weight, if not i guess I'll just pull one off and weigh it! LOL

thanks all

amazing, thanks!

so, i'd be picking up about 5 pounds per wheel.
would that make a huge difference in accelaration, handling etc etc?

it'll probably make you at least a tenth slower in the 1/4 for every 5 lbs you pick up per wheel.
