Mindless weight question, wheels.

Would anyone know if the S lites or the bullet wheels are lighter? I am sure it would only be by a touch anyway. I am getting new bullet wheels to swap out my peelling S lites and was just wondering if they were lighter. I certainly prefer the looks. Peter

I'm not too sure about the weight of the Bullet wheels but I do know that the S-Lite weigh in at a whopping 25lbs a piece. I'm sure every wheel is lighter than the S-Heavies

Here's a handy link I found which tells you about various wheels, including weights.

Holy crap, about 4 lb lighter per wheel. That amazing, thanks for that link, very appreciated.

I'd love to have one of my old wheels for a spare (I took off the runflats) but I am sure they are going in the dumpster after a field destroy.
