My reasoning is that the real weight difference will come from the wheel itself and the tires I'm looking at should be within a few pounds of each other...stock vs. aftermarket tires. So I'm really hoping to get wheels within a reasonable range of the stock (or as close as possible). Thanks for your time.
Flip, I'll weigh a conti for you in the morning. I have snows on now so I'll haul one of the conti's out and put it on the scale. They are heavy puppies with all that self seal gunk in them.

I understand your concern for the total unsprung weight. I am looking for light 20" alloy wheels as well for summer use.
