IDK about the TT wheels, but I have a set of the NA supra wheels with no tires, and I can't believe how light they are.
NA wheels + 5 lbs would cover it imo. Bust out a scale and weight em if you want. They're not fether weights thats for sure, but they're not sawblades.
found them.....per supraforums.au......93-97 TT front wheel= 24.76 lbs
93-97 TT rear wheel= 26.54 lbs
It said that the 98 TT wheels were lighter for some reason....
93-97 TT rear wheel= 26.54 lbs

And that's the same as sawblades (actually a bit more than the ''light'' sawblades).

SC has a post somewhere explaining precisely why the 98TT wheels are lighter... the essentials is that they changed a few details of the casting to shed some weight but keep the same strength. They still look the same standing next to the car.
One of my 17x8 rims are different: one center has ribs, the other does not. I think one is from an early supra, the other is from a '98 perhaps?
Weight Comparison (Front/Rear)
23.6 lb / 25.4 lb ('98) - lighter w/o ctr ridges
24.75 lb / 26.55 lb ('93-'97)
21.0 lb / 21.0 lb ('89)
(Note: '89 spare tire/wheel combo = 47 lb)
