Default Weight of Prelude wheels?

Does anyone know how much the Baseline Prelude Wheels weigh in at? I'm thinking of putting some on my Nhb ITR...

~18-19lbs. the "blade", polished ones, right? They are rather heavy...

It surely is... basically, 3lbs more per corner = ~3lb*4*4 = ~48lbs added to the car. (of course, you gotta factor in the tires too.)

Also remember that the 'lude rim are 6.5" wide which is a good thing if you plan on running wide tires (205 or 215 sized tires).

They are close to 20 lbs/wheel and then you gotta factor in the heavy tires you will be using.

Unless you are getting them for $50 each, I wouldn't consider them.

That is not that heavy for a stock 16 inch wheel, considering my 15" ITR wheel weighs in at 16.9lbs.
