299g, including the 84g center cap. I didn't try for light weight. I used the coarse glass cloth I bought for the boattail, used fairing compound to make it smooth, left the back side all drippy with epoxy, and didn't even think about vacuum bagging.

Materials cost for a set of four would be around $20, assuming you're buying epoxy resin and mold release in bulk to have some left for other projects.
