Yes, honest wheel weights are a hard thing to find... it seems that if people really knew what the weights are they might me more inclined to run stock steel wheels with hubcaps lol.

If you have to use a general rule of thumb, the forged wheel will most always be lighter (and more expensive) than a low pressure cast wheel, and keeping an eye on the rim diameter and width will save you a bit on the weight too. 7" wide rims will work every bit as well as 7.5" width rims.
