Wheel weights part II

Just weighed my rims and tires on a more accurate UPS digital scale. 16" x 7" Volk TE-37 rims were 12.4 lbs and the 205/45R16 Toyo T1-S tires were 18.6 lbs for a total of 31.0 lbs. So I wasn't that far off from the bathroon scale(which said 29 lbs). Pics to follow.......

Worn or new? If new, that's seems reasonably light to me -- compared to much heavier Azenis (22.6 in 205/50/15 according to Falken) or S-03 (22.0 in 205/50/15 according to Bridgestone).
