Heavy Wheels??

Does anyone know how much heavier stock 18" wheels are than, Purner, BBS LMs, HRE 540's, Forgeline, and ACR wheels?

Thanks guys. Has anyone noticed a difference in roadracing performance by just changing wheels?

I ran both 17" 97 stock forged wheels and 17" BBS racing wheels. Track times were consistently better with the BBS wheels.
