Lindsey 9x17 = 17 pounds
Lindsey 9.5x17 = 18 pounds
Lindsey 10x17 = 19 pounds
Lindsey 11x17 = 20 pounds
They're light because the barrel part that goes around the center is lighter than the comparable section from a whole Fuchs. The only downside to this is that the outer barrel is softer than a Fuchs.

So it appears that the premium you pay for Lindsey's over Trudesign's is somewhat justified.
Does anyone make a modified wheel that uses forged rims?
