thanks,
No experience here, but I would hazard a guess for the OEM 18" wheels at between 28 - 32 lbs. each.
FWIW, I had the summer runflats removed and put non-RFT winters on the stock 155 style 16" wheel.
Weighed the runflats on the same bathroom scale and they came in at 28 lbs. each, matching the Tire Rack data.
This (roughly) confirms the OEM wheel weight at 25 lbs.
