54 pounds
a piece.
I weighed them before they went on my walls for the winter. The car behaves noticably different going from 54 lbs to 36lb- 17'' wheels.

They were already off the car. When it was cold a couple of weeks ago, is when I took them off.

The side skirts that I had on the car were 4 lbs a piece.
When I drove on to the lift at work, I sort of ripped them off. Aparently you need more than 2.5'' of ground clearance to drive up an allignment rack. They were only help on my 3M tape, because they were not finished.
