Strange wheel weights for RPM2's?

I'm currently considering purchasing the 17 x 7" version of the RPM2 and noticed somthing kinda strange with the listed wheel weights. Can some one explain to me how the 4 x 100mm, 17 x 7" rim can weigh 18lbs when the 5 x 100 version in the same size and offset weighs 16.9lbs? In my mind one more hole shouldn't take off over a pound, I'm wondering if there was possibly a mistake on their web site. Please chime in with your thoughts.

possibly due to offset differences, but yeah doesnt make sense to me. I think that is coming from the manufacture.

not the ideal wheel weight wise overall

Possibly a typo copied from the Enkei web site. You could call one of their USA locations and ask.
