Ford Ranger rims.....weight?

I am looking at having to get new tires VERY soon. Mine are beginning to look like racing slicks. The problem I am having is that my Ranger came with 14" rims and I can't find a decent 14" tire. If I switch to 15" rims my tire choices are much better. I know it doesn't make a huge difference, but I am trying to find the weight of the three different rim options I have locally. The 14" Deer Hoof rims I have now are approx. 14 lbs each. These are the three options I have. Does anyone have any info on what they might weigh? The 8 oval ones are steel and the other two are alloy.

I replaced my 14 inch rims with 15s off of a Bronco 2. Then I put Bridgestone Ecopias on the 15 inch wheels. Not sure of the weight. You may find that of this Ranger forum.
