so I assume that respectively is towards the thread title?

10.5 lbs for the steel; 14.5 for the alloys?

Presumably, it's the weight front/rear of the alloy wheels.

ahhh, I see - in the post before that one. Hmmm, if so....doesn't that seems like a large weight gain (almost 40% more) just for adding an extra inch ( < 25%) thru the mid section of the wheel? Must have beefed up the wheel overall.
