How accurate is weight of wheel?
I just bought a set of Pro Comp alloy wheels in a 16x8. When I called Pro Comp, they told me the wheel weighed 30lbs. I wanted to run the lightest wheel/tire setup for my lil 22RE Runner. I got the tracking # for UPS and was looking at it. I have 4 pkg's, all saying this: Weight: 23.40 Lbs I mean, I know it's not that big of a deal, but 6.5lbs is 6.5lbs. Times 4 is 26lbs and who knows, minus the pkg'ing, it could be another .5lb less. If I can save more weight on the wheel, I can probably look at a tougher/heavier tire. I'm sure UPS is more accurate than Pro Comp, don't you think?

I weighed an aluminum 16x8 trans am wheel with a 245/55 tire and it was 40lbs if that helps. I'd say that the 23.4lbs is probably correct, 30 sounds pretty heavy.
