Does anyone have any idea how much these rims weigh? They are on Discount Tire Direct for only $89 each free shipping.

15X7 5-100 40FB

if they're made out of steel like my drag wheels, they're heavy.

The DR-17 are not listed on http://www.wheelweights.net/ however the DR-20 are 16lb and they are also 15x7
I have posted the image of the DR-20 I assume the DR-17 have a similar weight.

they may be lighter, somewhere around maybe 16 to 18 lbs, but because they are cast, they may not be very strong.

I guess if they are cast and that light, they just don't use as thick of metal as they do thicker cast wheels that weigh more,

forged is the way to go to get stronger and lighter wheels, but they do cost a lot more.

just my 2 cents

I've got them in 17x7's. With rubber (Falken Ziex ZE-512) ended up gaining some weight over the 15" steelies and balding tires I had. They came mounted so I don't have numbers without tires. Not sure how it is with the 15"s but they're by no means going to be "lightweight." As mentioned you'll need to spend some extra $$ to really get rid of some pounds.
