Default 17" original WRX wheel weight

Hi!

Has anyone ever tried to weight the original 17" wheel? Is it possible to get this data somewhere?
These wheels

You could weigh the spare and then deduct a tyre weight from somewhere like this.

Alternatively submerge the car in water, weigh the displaced water, repeat having removed a wheel
