Well, the shipping labels indicate that each balanced wheel and tire is 55lb. According to TireRack (like you said) a Dunlop Winter Sport M3 DSST in 225/45/17 is 26lb, so that means the rim itself is more or less 29lb.

BUT, UPS charges in dimensional weight too so it may be lighter than that. I do remember reading someplace that this 17" R89 replica rim is somewhere around the 24lb range.

What I'll do tomorrow is put one of these on a scale, subtract the 26lb tire and let you know the balance.
