I just want to make sure i get substantial weight savings off OEM wheels.

Sorry to get off topic. Just wasn't sure what is considered "light"
No problem, you're totally on topic. I'm not sure what materials they use on OEM wheels, but I'm sure it's not the best available. And for a mass produced wheel, they probably over engineer them on purpose because of how some of the people in the world will use and abuse them, so I would imagine 30 lbs. (or maybe more) for an OEM wheel is not out of the question.
