Here are the weights we’ve personally measured for R101 Lightweights:

19 x 9.5 ET22 = 16.7 lbs
19 x 11 ET43 = 17.6 lbs
20 x 8.5 = 17.8 lbs
20 x 9.5 = 17.4 lbs
20 x 10 = 18.4 lbs
20 x 11 = 18.4 lbs
20 x 12 = 19.4 lbs
21 x 12.5 = 22.2 lbs

Weights will vary based on wheel sizing obviously, but also offset, which is why, for example, the aggressive offset 20x10 weighs the same as the 20x11 with a not so aggressive offset.

As for the R101’s, it’s not possible to compare to the 20 inch since the R101 was only offered in 19’s, but here’s what we have:

19x9.5 ET20 – 19.2 lbs
19x11 ET37 – 20.6 lbs

If you compare the R101LW’s to the R101’s in the same sizing and pretty close of offset, the LW’s save about 2.5 lbs to 3 lbs. That’s a pretty stellar weight savings when you consider the general wheel design has been optimized, rather than completely changed.
