Default Wheel weights

Does anyone know where we can find how much our wheels weigh?

The old 944 forum doesn’t have 991 wheels listed.

I've seen it posted here before. Here are a couple of links from a quick search:

I guess it depends on how accurate you need to be. You can always put your wheel on the bathroom scale, then look up the weight of the tire on the Tire Rack website. As long as the tires aren't too badly worn, you should be in the ballpark.

Pro tip - weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the wheel, and do some math. I've had several scales that don't enjoy measuring under 50 pounds.

Yeah, that’s my plan-B. Which is probably good enough.

The reason why I’m looking for this info is because I’m shopping for wheels and I want to make sure they’re lighter.
