I believe my combo weighs in at about 42 pounds. Nice looking rims, nice and wide, and nice weight. I think the rims alone weigh around 16 pounds.

17x8 or 17x9 for better grip would be nice. Just a thought.

I got the same wheels from maxed up. When I weighed them they were 16 lbs.

Here's a link to see what they look like.
