Default What do these wheels weigh?

Any idea? I know the backspacing etc might not be right but just looking at them in general... what would they weigh compared to the much more expensive weld's etc?

Edit; Basically I am looking for the cheapest, lightest wheel that I can buy that will work for my 275/50/R15 MTs and in the future possibly work for a larger tire (like a slick). The stock V6 rims are TOO heavy.

They are heavier than the Welds that they are trying to copy. I do not know how much though.

I've seen those in person, they were pretty heavy IIRC. I don't know exactly, but I know I picked one up and thought..."Damn, those are pretty heavy for an aluminum race wheel."

Welds are not that bad. I think mine were about $90 for the front runners and I think $160 for the rears. The ones you are looking at I think are actually steel not aluminium.

Where did you get them?

edit: The same model basically (15x8, 5x4.5 boltpattern, 4.5 backspace) from weld on summit's website is 360+ dollars (plus tax). The summit ones ar eonly 180 bucks... thats a huge price difference.

Also, the summit ones list as aluminum.
