I just mailed 4, 17 x 7.5 in front 2003 coupe rims.
Each box had 2 rims.
Each box weighed 47lbs.
47lbs minus 1lb box = 46lbs divided by 2 = 23 lbs for 1, 2003 coupe 17x7.5.

My guess is the 18 whould be 2-4lbs heavier.

Well I can get you about half way home........
The OEM Coupe rears are 51 lbs - wheel and tire. (245mm's)
The OEM Coupe fronts are 49.5 lbs - wheel and tire. (225mm's)

Now all you need is for someone to weigh either the front or rear OEM tire alone and subtract.

The stock 18s weigh 25 lbs each (they're both the same size). The Michelin Pilots in 225/45 size weigh 24 lbs and the 245/45 weigh 26lbs. Trust me. I spent 3 months gathering info on aftermarket rims before I settled for my 18lb BBS RGRs.

I had the numbers somewhere but I can't find it right now.

I swapped out my stock 18" with worn tire (18k on tires) with brand new 2005 19" rims. Basicly the brand new 19" weight around 1-2lbs heavier than the worn 18" each. My stock 19" weight around 49lbs front and 51.5lbs rear.

Here is the catch though - Those new Bridgestone tires weight a ton!!! Front tire 27lbs each, and the rear tires weight 30lbs each. (What the heck!?) Subtract A from B, you get the stock 19" forged rims weight. Front - 49-27 = 22lbs. Rear 51.5-30 = 21.5lbs. These numbers are not definitive because the rear rims are supposed to be heavier than the front. (8.5" width)

In comparison, stock 18" rims weight appx. 24-24.5lbs each.
