Does anyone know any of these weights?

  • Front spindle with caliper and rotor
  • Rear trailing arm with caliper and rotor
  • Halfshaft

I believe the YJ8 or N90 wheels weigh 8 pounds less, each, than the steel rally equivalent.
Here's what I do know:

N90 wheels, with the heavy center caps, trim weights, and Goodyear Eagle GT II tires (255/60-R15), weigh 48.8 lbs.
YJ8 wheels, similar configuration (BFG Radial T/As, same size tire), weigh 49 lbs.

So, for the steel rallys, 57 lbs for an equivalent tire?
