19 pounds is about average for the TYPICAL 15 X 6.5" - 15" X 7" gravity cast aluminum wheel.

Racing wheels tend to bend on bad pavement (e.g. potholes, which our roads are full of). I don't want that. I want a robust wheel that's designed to handle the realities of STREET use.

Oh, I'm 45 and have a degree in mechanical engineering.

Go anything else you want to ask?

I have sub 10lb wheels on our Yaris.

Enkei RPF1s are sub 10lbs if you don't want to spend big $$ on wheels.

a 19lb 15" wheel is insane, i've had 17x8s that were that light.
