FYI

Thank you for your posting I also have had a struggle or justifications on wheel choices and wheel cover

My first hand insight is as follows

Toyota OEM 15 inch 5x100 lug wheels /rims 19 lbs (8kg)(alum/alloy) from what the forums and others have stated additionally the tire is somewhere around 17lbs coming in at 36 lbs....

In the USA tirerack online purchase has Enkei J10 15 inch wheel 5x100 lug for $127 US dollars these are a Japan owned manufacture in Thailand to my understanding ... these scale in at 14-15lbs so 28lbs making 115-113lbs to the current 144lbs I currently have via 19lbs x 17lbs tire /wheel setting 30lbs reduction if I had the Enkei...

Enkei has more lighter 15 inch wheel Enkei RPF1 4x 100 lug scaling in at 9.5lbs so 26-27 lbs with tire.
