    23.6 lbs for the wheels and 24 lbs for the tires -- total would be 47.6 lbs.

    When I weighed them I had a plastic bucket in place to keep them on the bathroom style scale and the total read 61.2 lbs for the stock wheels with winter tires and 50.6 for my new wheels and tires -- difference is 10.6 lbs per wheel/tire. 3 lbs for the bucket sounds almost right (it style had a cloth or something in it). Somewhere I recall someone saying their stock set was 58 lbs.

    They are noticably much lighter than stock when handling and mounting.

    Ok, full disclosure, my weights come from my kids' sesame street bathroom scale i pulled out of the 'donate' pile :o)
    So my absolute numbers may be distorted by the snuffleupagus effect.

    But my relative numbers show 8 - 10% less unsprung weight.
    Your combo is a whopping 23% lighter than stock!
