I found a guy online that weighed them on a bathroom scale and got 15 pounds without tires. I didn't believe it either but I found another source that got 14 pounds. It seems like after the 1st gen Insight wheel Honda just stopped caring about lightweight wheels. Probably because people cared more about styling than fuel economy.
