Are type s wheels any lighter?

I was wondering if anyone knows if the type s wheels are any lighter than the stock five spoke wheels found on the 04-06 TL? I hope there might be some weight savings and that the upgrade would be more than aesthetic...

Probably not enough to matter.

They're pretty heavy, about 26lb. Add a tire to it, and you're up to 46lb.
I'm not sure how heavy the base rims are, but if I were to guess, they're about the same.
