Just replaced my stock spare with an Alcoa. Decided to weigh them both. Stock steel 16.5 with Cooper radial, 79 lbs. Alcoa Classic with Michelin radial, 65 lbs. So if your replace all 7 stock rims with Alcoa rims you'll save 98 lbs.

That's only about $25 per pound! Haha

David, I see that your "new" Birchaven is mentioned at Jim's Daily Pose with
some pics! I'll be following this story closely. Congrats!
