Default Rim weight

Ive been looking around at light weight rims saying that they weigh about 12 pounds each. My question is how much do stock rims weigh on the stock 7th gen civics. And is there a noticable difference in getting light weight rims??

wheel to wheel, it'll be a couple lbs lighter each which makes a noticable difference in acceleration.tho, im guessing the wheel ur looking at is taller/wider so u'll prolly want to put a larger tire on, and taller/wider the tire, the heavier. chances are it may be just a tad less weight the ur original setup, maybe about the same, but grip will improve.
