Yeah, those weights are accurate. I bought mine with OEM RFTs mounted and shipping weight was 26-27lbs each.

So the second weight posted initially includes the wheel? Makes sense but just trying to get things straight...its about 25lb per wheel + tire for fronts and about 27lbs per wheel + tire for the rears?

The weights are accurate. I actually weighed my stock 162s with RFTs and the fronts were 49lbs and the rears were 54lbs.
I went with Advan RS in 18". 8.5" up front and 9.5" rears so I'm 1/2" and 1" wider than stock. The front wheels weigh 17.8lbs the rears weigh 18.5lbs. I went with GY F1 Asymmetrics in 245/35 front and 265/35 rears. Even though this combo is wider with more rubber on each corner I still ended up loosing an average of 9lbs per corner. Yes, I can feel the difference in the way the car handles, accelerates and stops. I did add the Stoptechs at the same time and they are lighter than the stock brakes too. I'm not sure how much lighter though. Probably another lb. or two per corner.
