You're right. A typical one piece 17x7 forged wheel would be in the 16 lbs range. 17.4 lbs is certainly on the heavy side. I have my suspicions they aren't fully forged wheels (cost being the other red flag here), but I'd curious to know who made the wheel/see the manufacturing stamps on the wheel.
