The weight given is with tires on it. Not sure if its 100% accurate, but seems pretty reliable.

Hey Rostasteve, I was in the same boat as you a couple of weeks ago. Except I was trying to find the weight of my 18" 7 spoke rims that came with my 2003.5 G35 6MT Coupe. I tried Googleing, called several Infiniti dealers up, and even called Infiniti Consumer Affairs and came up with no answer. I finally found the answer on Ebay of all places. I searched for my rims and asked several of the sellers what they weighed. I finally found out that my rims weigh 25lbs. Hope you find your answers on Ebay like I did.

The 19" OEM Rays are closer to 21/22. NISMO LMGT4 Rays which are a little wider weight 21/22, also. The LMGT4 Rays in 18's are 18.3 lbs, darn light. So 18 and change for these Rays is probably right on the money.
As for 2003.5 Coupe wheels those are the same as my 2004 OEM wheels, they are a porky 24/25 lb in 18". With the original tires mounted there was a 2 lb difference front to rear, 42 lbs and 44 lbs, margin of error though about 1-2 lbs with the tires on. I weighed them 3 times on a pretty basic scale and averaged the numbers (with tires, the OEM Michies).
24 lbs is pretty heavy IMHO for a OEM Sport Package 18" wheel, they did much better with the next gen wheels - except they should have made the 19" rears 9-9.5" so you could more easily mount a little bigger tires. Keeping the 245/45/18 rear on a 8" or 8.5" was a mistake IMHO.
3 lbs of rotating weight...times four corners, it really makes a noticeable diff.
