team dynamics jobbies are like 5.5kg without a tyre so im guessing around the same as above for your average 15" alloy with a tyre.... 10kgs/ish

Team Dynamics 15x7s Pro Race - 5.5kgs
Goodyear Eagle F1 tyre 195/45 - 7kgs (measured on my bathroom scales)
Total weight 12.5kgs

Average 15inch alloy rim would be a couple of kilos heavier than that - so about 14kgs
