7 lbs. according to my digital scale.

I think its possible they are a little lighter than the 12" wheels but I havent weighed one yet so i'm just guessing.

What size tires do you plan on running front and rear? Do you know that the tires you bought will fit?

I bought Michelin Power Pure 130/60/13 for the front and 140/60/13 for the rear...

They are supposed to fit according to the research i've done. they should only be fractionally taller than stock because of the aspect difference.

Now you just need a larger disk to fill that front wheel.

The MP3 disk bolts right up to the GTS hub and is 240mm instead of 220. The caliper would need to be spaced out but you should have room to fit just about anything.
