X-LITE Rims - What do they weigh?

Hey Everyone,

My 03 R53 came with these rims:

385 LT/ALY WHEELS/X-LITE

in 16". Does anyone know what they weigh? We are looking at running some Heliums or some Drag rims to reduce rolling inertia from the wheels, but want to know how much the X-Lites weigh.

Can anyone help me out? If I had to change tires out, I would just weigh them myself, but tires are almost brand new.

Thanks!

If they are white and clean and you're looking to sell them, let me know. I'm looking for a pair of white X-Lites for my new MCS.

Thanks a lot! I actually found the site right before you posted. I couldn't find much on this site with information, but found that link on another thread.

So, it looks like they are 17.6lbs.

I'm looking at getting some Konig Heliums or another super light tires. The Konigs are 16" and 13lbs. Anyone know of any other rims that are super light?

Just want a nice setup looking setup that maximizes fuel economy. We put 30K on the car every year.

They are silver and pretty clean. If you'd want to powdercoat them, you probably could. I don't know what we are doing yet. We may keep them for winter tires and upgrade in the Spring and get some summer performance tires. We just don't know yet.
