As far as weight, my old 17x10 Weld wheel that I was talking about with the MT tire was about ~52. Had not checked my stock SS 20x9.5 rears (split-spokes) with runflat 275s on, but had heard something like 62~64 for the 5-spoke wheels. That is why I said 20ish pounds, did not check mine stock so it's inexact. Have later checked my stock SS split-spoke 20x9.5 rear wheel with 275 PS4S tire and it was only ~58 like that. Obviously different wheels and different tires could change things, but I was talking about my specific change of stock split spoke/runflat to Weld 17/MT drag radial.
