I can't tell you my rim weight since they all have tires mounted, but I can tell you this.

17 x 8.5 sawblade with 255/45ZR17 tire weighs 46 lbs.
17 x 9.5 sawblade with 285/40ZR17 tire weighs 47 lbs.
17 x 9.5 AFS 5 spoke with 275/40ZR17 weighs 51 lbs.
17 x 11 AFS 5 spoke with 315/35ZR17 weighs 52 lbs.
