Why not wait until you get home, take your bathroom scale, weigh yourself and then hold one while you re-weigh?

Maybe someone else will have the weight...they are heavy!
Good luck with 'boxing' them, they are huge...

The Search Tab is usually one's friend, but this thread I found on wheel weight/style 168 included, is a bit confusing, hard info-wise...but, give it a read, as it may help.

Keep in mind chrome plating makes the wheel weigh a bit more, so you'll want to actually weigh it yourself.

For starters, yes, you can print postage via ebay....

A rough guesstimate would be around 45lb for the wheel.
Add the total weight boxed, PROPERLY packed....you're coming up closer to 55lbs on average.

86.1 pounds each with all the air I could get out before going. Really heavy.
