The table doesn't cut-and-pace, but you should be clever enough to decipher this from the 1000Q:

The following table lists approximate weights for the various wheels. Specification 1G
16" steel 1G
16" alloy 1G
16" mesh 2G
16" alloy 2G
17" alloy Spyder GVR4
Weight 28 lbs 19 lbs 19 lbs 22 lbs 25 lbs Spyder GVR4

For used ones maybe. I needed to replace two, and Satan wanted $250 each.

Get them on EBay, I got a set of 4 (with tires) for $200.

Well I needed new tires as well, so I just went ahead and got a set of 17's.

Check out The Wheel Exchange. We have a exchange program where if you screw up your stocks, you can send your in to be reconditioned for $125 or buy one that has already been recon'd for like $165-200 and then send your damaged one in for the core charge. It doesn't hurt that I work there, ask for me (Nate) and tell me you saw this and I can hook you up with a little bit better price....

We also specialize in European wheels (BMW, Benz, VW, & Audi)
We are master distributors of OZ wheels, Hamann, Rondell, Alutec, Autec, and a ton more.....

Are we talking weight here? Go with the OZ Antarres if weight is your major conern.

the Antares isnt that light...if you want light, you gotta get the Crono Evolution or the Superleggera by OZ. both weigh the same pound as inch....the antares weighs about 21 lb in 17 inch and 23 lb in the 18 inch.
I have the Crono Evolution and I noticed a huge difference going from my 18 inch Konigs to this wheel, also 18 inch....pictures are below...
