According to Konig's site, also depending on the width of your rims, they are between 24.9 and 26.4lbs.
I believe your tires are somewhere around 23-25lbs, so your combo should come in at around 48-50lbs.
Be interesting to know the weight gain/loss, as compared with the oem setup...

Hope this helps.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

The steel EX rim, Firestone tire, and hubcap weight 40 lbs. I also weighed my Monsoons with tires and they weigh in at 41.5 lbs.

Silver2k1Dood - you don't get your car serviced at Lute Riley do you ?? If so, you're the reason I got the Monsoons !!! I saw a silver coupe roll out of the bay lowered and with Monsoons one day while I was there and man it looked sweet !!!!!!

Grey - I stuck the wheel and hubs on a digital bathroom scale. I think someone else did in another post and came up with 40 also.

I have rota subzeros on the way and I am using the stock tires. Won't do much for handling but maybe a little for acceleration. The subzeros are around 12.5lbs per rim. So, I should be looking at 28-29lbs per wheel.

Konig Verdict, 18 x 7.5, = 24.9lbs
18 x 8 , = 26.4lbs

I can't find any weights for the tires. Nitto doesn't list them on their site. However, 17in wheels tend to weigh in the low 20's, so 25-26lbs would probably be about right. 50lbs would be a good estimate. You got some porkies on there but I am sure they look sweet as hay.
