No, actually I made a mistake.
We have a scale at work with a memory and presets..
A bit too fancy and complicated for me when working in the garage at 1:00
a.m. !

It is used by weighing the packing boxes empty first, then the goods and it
has a memory.
I did not clear the memory, so it was removing about 6.5 lbs from the total
weight.
With no balancing weights, or nuts they DO weight 21 lbs.
Your friend is right.

Not as light as better forged wheels, but still lighter than most cast mags.
Actually that was a bit reassuring, as I have just bought some new wheels,
and lined up a buyer for my old ones, and thought I had made a terrible
mistake.
After I got this message I reset the scale and re-weighed them today.
Then I did not feel so bad.
