How much do wheels weigh?

You do have to treat them well, especially the little fronts. I used several sets of 15x3.5/15x4 Weld's, Centerlines, Cragar SS & a set of Super Tricks. I babied the ST's to death on the street, and thru all the creaking noise in the turns, they survived limited use. I never had a issue with the Weld/Centerline wheels, but split two of the 15x4 SS wheels along the rim close to the bead.

Sorry for getting off track Paul, sometimes I just get to talking...:D.

Like you, correct in our experiences in the real world. Sorry, to the O.P., it's good knowledge.
