those wheels are strong and cheap but definatly not light bro...that wheelset weighs around 2500 grams...there is 450 grams in a pound...that means that wheelset weighs around 5.5 pounds...when you are looking for a wheelset it should be around 1800-2000 grams...and a some what light weight rim that is strong well weight around 400-500 grams...just a ballpark weight...but anything in the 6 or 700 grams well be a pretty heavy wheel
