Default Weight of a 15” Honeycomb wheel?

I was curious if anyone happens to know or has weighed a factory 15” honeycomb wheel?

One of mine is off now but of course it has a tire on it. It seems mighty heavy to me.

Wondering the difference in weight between a factory and aftermarket 17” cast aluminum wheel.

P.S. don’t have the scratch for the billet honeycombs I found on line.

I have an original 15x8 setting here to get tires tomorrow. 19.2lbs.

So many and much better tires available for the 17 but it might not be lighter.

The 15x7 Honeycombs w factory trim ring & center cap weigh right around 30 lbs. Will post back w an exact to the ounce weight.

The only thing heavier that I've ever pulled and shipped in a factory GM performance 15x7 steel wheel are the '86-87 Grand National wheels.
Chrome with black accents, they come in right under 32 lbs.

For comparison, late '60's, early '70's 14x6 GM A-body steel wheels typically come in around 18-19 lbs.

Have a list at home of exact weights, numerous sizes, some weights also with mounted G70-14's. F60-15's, and G60-15s.

Sorry - This registered as snowflake not honeycomb which I suppose is obvious from the 15x8. So lease ignore post #.2
