Welcome!

Do a search under my name + weight of "Gumbys and split spokes". Since all the factory wheels through 2010 weighed about the same (or, 1 lb/wheel more if chromed), yours are probably about the same.

Aftermarket wheels comprise maybe 30% of the wheels here but account for about 90% of the wheel problems.

If you are happy with painted wheels, used factory wheels in like new condition are usually available for around $300 on craiglist. If one gets damaged, buy another. I just picked the style I liked and started looking, got 'em in a couple of weeks.
