With tires probably 20-30ish range. If you have them you could weigh them.

The stock wheels are aluminium so they are pretty light as it is, a general rule of thumb is that an aftermarket wheel is usually (not all cases) heavier, especially if it's a chrome wheel, because the aftermarket companies don't use quite as high of quality materials, and if it's chrome plated it adds weight because chrome is heavy. A 17 lbs wheel is relatively light, although it's probably similar to the weight of the stock wheels. Another thing to consider is that 1 pound of unsprung weight (wheels/tires/brakes etc.) is worth 8 lbs of sprung weight.
