As stated - Does anybody have the actual weight of the 7 spoke OEM alloys? (not a guess)

Thanks. Steelies are 17.2 lbs.
So it looks like the weight difference is not very big.

No, it's pretty minimal.

Regardless that they weigh almost the same, the 7 spoke wheels are a better alternative to the steelies! Unless of course, the steelies are nicely painted and clean!

You referring to these wheels?

I am actually just getting ready to sell them for a screaming deal. $196 bucks for all four, they come with the lugs, caps, and stems. And I just weighed a wheel they weigh 17.35 lbs.

Yeah those are them.
I was thinking about bidding on some of those batches on ebay.
I've already got 8 sets of wheels in my garage though, so I probably should lay off it for a while.
