depends on the wheel hre are forged wheels they are a lot lighter than the stock wheels
Even forged 19's have to be at least 20 lbs. S-lites (who came up with this ridiculous name?) are anything but. I believe they're like 25 lbs. I try not to be obsessive about the unsprung weight issue, but when your ride is being powered by 1598 ccs, you gotta trim where you can. (BTW cartoonish isn't bad . . . it's a look . . . but not my favorite.)
close but no cigar, try 30lbs, well ok 29.4lbs, 30lbs in my book!!

I must have something better to do . . . but, here goes anyway. I guessed that the S-Lites were approx 25 lbs., not 20 lbs. That was my guess for the 19 inch wheels.
And I think we still disagree on the "cartoonish" issue. Here! I'll pin myself down. 24" wheels (even if they'd fit) would look absolutely ridiculous. 22" wheels would look silly. 20" would look cartoonish. 18" is a good big wheel look. 16-17" is balanced/normal. 15" looks too small. So, you see, for me 19" wheels fall right in between "good big wheel look" and cartoonish. Therefore, a little cartoonish (as I originally posted), but, also, almost a good big wheel look. Just a matter of different tastes.
