Actually, I have a brand new unmounted 17x9 sitting in my garage, I could take it to work and measure it.

9x17 @17.6# is Forged wheel light, my 8x17 K5 Kinesis(forged 5 spoke centers) are 18#, the 9.5 are 19#
I tied to collect wheel data years ago, it's hard and often confusing w/ contradictory info
everyone's scales are a different
most are weighed w/ tires and balance weights then extrapolated to the wheel weight
But please do post what you get, I suspect many or even most of the weights published on sales web sites are shipping weights or estimates
For instance Pelican lists 15#as the weight of multiple sizes of Braid wheels, If you dig deeper there are non-credible high weights, but if these non credible weights are divided by 4 , you get credible weights for the individual wheels.
ex. Braid 17 x 9.5 in ET from -30 to +71 are listed @74#, divided by 4 and you get 18.5 which is 1.5# lighter than my forged 9.5 x17 but is at least credible as being in the ball park
