Hey Donnie..I sold my old 17 inch 40 spoke rear wheel/tire a month or two ago...I don't remember exactly how much it weighed...but I believe it was somewhere between 25 and 30 pounds including packaging. Does that sound right? Not sure about the front wheel as mine has never been off my bike.

Tell you the easiest way to do it...get on a scale and take your weight...then pick up the wheel and stand on the scale again. Take the difference, and there you go. Add a couple pounds to include the packaging materials.

I just shipped out a front chrome cast wheel, it was about 20 lbs and cost me 22.00 to UPS it.

Look at it this way, you get a sale and a set of scales.
