Stock 16" Bridge Spoke wheel weight?

Anyone know what these things weight? I'm just trying to figure out how much weight I'll save with my soon to be new combo.

The all season runflats on these are 23lbs while the 17" 235 PS2's I'll be getting are 22lbs. The 235 look will be badass but only saving a pound on the tires. The Rota Torques I want are 18.3lbs. Hoping to save a good amount on the wheels.

According to this link, they weigh 20.9 pounds.

Thanks!

So 3.6 lbs weight savings per wheel. Not too much but 14.4 lbs equals about 144lbs spinning right?

Anyone know if one would feel a difference with this different setup?

The better question is how you are going to make the 235's fit in your wheel wells.

These threads left me with the impression there's no work that's needed there.

What is the size & off set of your current wheel Then tell me the size of your new wheel & off set I also need the tire sizes for both & I will tell you how much closer it is to your suspension etc. I think it is going to be a lot closer than you think You may need spacers. also tell me how far your current tire is away from your suspension.
