stock rim weights vs. aluminum rim weights

I run a 450 Grizzley, about how much weight would I save if I switched to ITP c-series type 7 wheels versus the OEM wheels. Is is a noticable difference or just a couple pounds per wheel.

A couple pounds per wheel is very noticable. Less weight means it take less motor to turn the tires and more power for acceleration. Not sure the weight though.

I have the type 7's and they are noticeably lighter than my steel stockers, although I did not weigh them both to see the actual difference. ITP lists the weight of a 12x7 Type 7 at 8.5 pounds.
