On a digital scale, I just weighed the stock 15" with the Dunlops to be 34.4lbs while I was at Endless testing out their kit. Pretty light setup for stock wheels.

For Dunlop SP 31 A/S (passenger All Season tire)
Tire Specs for Dunlop SP31 A/S
195/55-15 tires should be 18 lbs each

so 34.4 -18= 16.4 lbs.

Other estimates have it at about 15.5 to 17 lbs each.

Of note if you like to autocross and need stock sized wheels at lower than stock weight and low price (nearly stock offset)

Then tirerack.com has-
Sport Edition D4 15x6" +50 mm offset $59 each (closeout) 14 lbs each

Silver finish, 1 year warranty, made in china. 1 piece Cast construction

Likely going to be discontinued since closeout. Rims made by Kosei, they are raising their prices so tirerack isn't going to keep them.

You can pay a lot more and get 15x6 rims very light about 9 lbs each and fairly strong (forged construction). Some are as much as about $400 per rim.

For moderate price-
Enkei Racing Series RPF1 $199 each 15x7" +41 mm offset 9.5 lbs each

1 year warranty, Made in Japan, 1 piece gravity cast with MAT technology
Wheel Tech - Wheel Construction
Bright Silver Paint.

A friend of mine just measured a 2008 Fit Sport rim (with the TPMS valve stem attached) on a VERY accurate scale at his work.

17.45 pounds.

I think this is roughly the same weight as the 17x7.5" BBS wheels on my Subaru WRX. But I guess for a reasonably priced OEM set, this is okay.
