I can help- sort of.

I weighed mine the other day and it came to 37.6 pounds with the tire on a digital scale. The tire is a Yoko AVS ES 100 (225/50 16) with about 70% tread remaining and according to Tire Rack a new one weighs 23.0 pounds. I knocked off .5 pound for tread wear and came up with 37.6-22.5= 15.1 pounds.

The other one (my front 16x6) weighed in at approximately 14.8 using this math process.

This is a start at least!

18 pounds for a 16x7 wheel is way off. The chart that a member has is off on a few of the wheels.

The 16x7 Fuchs wheel weighs 14 pounds and some change, not 18 pounds. I weighed them myself on a nice digital scale.

6 * 36 * 911.362.113.00 = 7.7 kgs
7 * 23 * 951.362.115.00 = 6.4 kgs
7 * 23 * 911.362.115.00 = 6.4 kgs
7 * 23 * 911.361.020.44 = 6.4 kgs
8 * 11 * 911.362.117.00 = 8.6 kgs
8 * 11 * 911.361.020.45 = 8.6 kgs
8 * 23 * 951.362.117.00 = 7.0 kgs
