For comparisons, if we add 7lbs to your measurements (using the 17" type 130 as our baseline calibration reference), it would make your wheels/tires combo to be 73lbs and 76lbs, which isn't too bad as it's not too far off from the OEM type 132s.

In 19s, however, I would have to say that I preferred the 132s over the 87s. The 132s are a bit more "chunky" and "beefy", whereas, the 87s seems a bit "wimpy" in 19s. But in any case, those 87s sure look heck of alot better than the original 130s.
Dude, if what you say is true, then I weigh 7lbs more than I thought I did DOH...

Seriously, interesting info. I like the 132s in 19" a lot as well. Both look really good to me.
