I didn't find this information with a search, so I thought I would make it available for those who would find this of interest.
The weight of a 17 X 11 wheel is 24 lbs.
When you are looking at a backspacing of 3" - 5", you get a 'reversed barrel' which means you get no 'step' in your wheel. If you select a 5 1/4 or greater backspacing, you get that 'step'.
They do make wheels in 1/4 inch increments.
I personally do like the extra 'step' in the wheel, so I have purchased a set of 5 1/4 " backspaced 17 X 11 wheels. I get the 'stepped' look and a large lip at the same time.
