Yeah really!!!
I think the steel rally 15x8" are like a metric tonne each! I'm swapping temporarily to some buzzsaws off a '95, although beginning to rethink the deal - it's getting more expensive.
Any source on comparitive wheel weights anywhere?

From: Smile, it's just the internet.
In general, forged aluminum and magnesium wheels are the lighest. BBS, Minilite, Weld, etc.; companys with a history in racing... Anything cast is generally going to be heavy (relatively).
Lightweight wheels are exponentially more than run-of-the-mill wheels.
