Weight of a wheel ?

Just wondered if any one might happen to know the weight of a wheel i.e 17" azev a's or maybe a 17" Alpina rep. Not including tyre. Just trying to work out if they are worth buying and shipping down here to OZ!! Struggle with rims down here and I happen to like those mentioned above !! Any help much...
