Since most 17" tires are gonna weigh about 22+ pounds you'd be getting in the range of 45+ pounds per wheel/tire combo. Enough to give you a hernia or throw out your back.
The heavy rim does give some measure of durability when striking potholes but with the runflat tire even the rim can get damaged so be careful out there. This rims are not indestructible despite the heavy weight.
