Default Steel vs Aluminum rims?

How much of a weight difference is there between steel and aluminum rims, front and rear. Are the steel rims like extremely heavy compared to the aluminum? Thanks --- Rider1169

I'm regretting the 22 inch klaws i've got on steel ITPs. Regret the rims, not the tires. Like Maddog suggested, splurge for aluminum. I'm now going to tie a rope around the steel rim and toss it overboard while fishing. The other will be used as a lawn ornament.
