Wheel weight question

I want to order these wheels but, the website lists the weight for the 17x7.5 at 18.5lbs
I would like to order the 18x8.5 how would I calculate the weight difference?
And also what do you think of the rim selection for my 8?

i don't think you can estimate it accurately. You'd need to find out from them what it weighs.

My Gram Lights are less than 18 lbs each, and they're 18x8.5

mysql101 is correct. They cant be estimated.

The enkei rpf1 in 18x8.5 are heavier than the 18x9.5

I called Enkei today to get the weight of the FN-18 18x8.5 w/ +42 offset weighs a staggering 26lbs. Do you know how much the Axis wheels weigh by chance?
