Unfortunately turini's aren't listed, however going on the other Speedline 8x18 I'd say around 24lb.
D1CCY, your PFF7 are flow formed (hence the FF- Prodrive Flow Formed 7spoke) which makes them considerably lighter than most cast alloys..
My 8x18 OZ super leggs weigh ~17lb/7.7kgs..

Jasonius,
You're right I forgot that'd make a difference.
Another good way to reduce unsprung weight is to get discs on bells. I weighed my OE Brembo 330 mm discs at 10 kg each. AP strapdiives weigh 8 kg as do AP 330 mm 6 pot discs, mind you the caliper brackets are heavy.
Cheers, Diccy.

Nowt better to do this afternoon so whipped the wheel off.
Includes the weight of a 225/40/18 GSD3 with about 7mm of tread
Think my scales are dodgy though also read 22.2kgs on one reading but avaraged about 20.5kgs with tyre.

Just for info I weighed the spare bits in my garage last night:
225/40/18 GSD3 XL 4 mm without rim 9.5 kg
Gold 17" STi rim plus RE040 5 mm 21.8 kg
Assuming tyre weights much the same this makes the STi Gold 12.3 kg, no wonder the ride improves when you fit 18s that weigh 4 kg less.
