I did a search and found them to weigh exactly 20.17lbs each, which is .33lbs lighter than the stock VIII Enkeis, and 2.43lbs heavier than the stock MR BBS rims.

That's part of why Volks are so expensive - super light and super strong. So, your 18" LE-37s only weigh 16lbs? I knew the TE-37s were some of the lightest on the market, but I didn't know about the LE-37s.

Ok, then you have BBS rims, which aren't the regular stock IX rims, and yours weigh 17.74lbs each - very light and very strong.

On the UPS label that was on the box, that the rims came in, said it weighed in at a massive 17 lbs, and that's per box, so I'm guessing so...

I'm also guessing that there's nothing special about the LE's except they come with that polished lip

I just checked the website and it says from VOLK:
"The weight of Volk Racing TE37 is 8 lbs. for 15 x 6.5 and 16 lbs. for 18 x 8.5. With this kind of lightness and durability, it is no surprise to see that this wheel is a very coveted wheel among enthusiasts."

I don't know... I'm sure there are rims that are lighter, but one thing about VOLK's is not only are they extremely light, but they’re extremely strong and durable....
