Wheel weights

Anyone know a source for the weight of the different OEM wheels? I am digging the R94 Bridge Spoke wheels, but I'll bet I could get much lighter wheels for the same amount of money. I don't want to go any bigger than 16".

Wow, these are really heavy! And I'll bet the OEM wheels are even heavier. I am spoiled with my 12 lb OEM wheels on my Miata.

Yeah, I was really surprised to find out my R100s are only 13.7 lbs considering every other OEM MINI wheel is so heavy. I hate the look of them, but I can't really complain about the weight.
