i hope this helps but the tire weight of the stock dunlop thats on there is 18 pounds:
Tire Specs for Dunlop SP Sport 7000 A/S

maybe you could weight it during a tire rotation and subtract 18 from it and be the first to know the weight of the stock 16 inch wheel of a Fit Sport.

Just weighed the tire/wheel combo.

Combo weighs 35.5 lbs.
Bridgestone Turanza el-470 185-55/16 weighs 18 lbs

Using some high power math I come up with 17.5 lbs for the stock wheel.

Hope it helps.

ahh i forgot about the air.. probly might wanna say theres 15 liters of air in each tire. and 15 liters multiplied by 1.286 grams. so that means...

19 grams needs to be subtracted as well.
19grams = to about 0.0418 pounds

so also add 0.0418 pounds to be subtracted.

Heres the reference on amount of air per liter: how much a liter of air weighs - Google Search

And referance of grams to pounds conversion:
grams to pounds - Google Search

Heavy. I had to get a replacement rim from a junkyard and it was... heavy.

Don't forget to figure in the humidity of the air also.
