Default Selecting new wheels.

I'm looking for new wheels. I've noticed that most retailers don't tell the weight of the wheels they're selling. How much do the stock 3 17" wheels weigh? Does anyone know any good brands to look at for lighter weight wheels? I want to stay with 17", but reduce weight. Any suggestions?

I believe they are around 22-23 lbs. You should be able to find some around 18 lbs that won't completely blow the budget.

Best bet is to research what you can afford on tirerack.com, then go to that manufacturer's website to figure out what they weigh.
