OEM wheel weight

Anyone know the OEM wheel weight, particularly the 6 cylinder wheels? I know they're Enkei's, but I'm curious what they weigh - particularly against my aftermarket alloys. (Unsprung weight is the enemy.)

take a wheel off and weigh it!
subtract 25-30 to account for tire.

it's non-scientific, but I bet you it would get you close to 31-35lbs
I cant see the OEM's being lighter than your After market's

weigh both!
you'll get your answer...I bet you, one is heavier than the other.
then, subtract the two!!!!

very non-scientific, but it will get you close to what you are asking!!!
and because I really really doubt OEM is lighter

Someone weighed the 17x7.5 TLX wheels with tires and they were approx. 22 kg. The OEM Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires weigh approx. 10.9 kg. That means the wheels alone weigh approx. 11.1 kg. That's close to what the 17x7.5 9th gen Accord wheels weigh.

The 18x8 Accord wheels weight approx. 12.7 kg. If I had to make a guess, I'd say the 18x7.5 TLX wheels weigh approx. 11.8 kg.

TLX OEM 18 x 7.5 wheel weigh 25 lbs per wheel and 50 lbs total with stock tire. Those were the weight I recorded when I replace my wheels.
