Wheels and Falken Tires

So after noticing the SSC selected tire is the Falken Azenis RT615K+ 225/45-17, I realized it's the same tire I used last year for street class. Only on a 17x7 wheel. I am planning on selling the set but wondering if these would be good for someone going into SSC as well. Save them a few bucks by buying used. So here's what i have:

Motegi MR131 17x7 Silver Wheels with Falken Azenis RT615K+ 225/45-17

The wheels are 17x7 +45 offset in silver. No TPMS installed.
I was not able to find an official weight for this wheel on the Motegi web site. I find different weight listed in the specs for different sellers. Tire Rack has the black at 16.7 but the bronze at 17.3. I don’t see how the paint color could be that different. The silver must no longer be available but I found them from Amazon sellers listed at 16.94 regardless of color. But are these considered without valve stems, center caps, balance weights? My understanding for SSC is the minimum 17 lbs includes weights, caps, and stems. So you decide if they qualify for SSC or not.
I see the Konig Ultraform in 17x8 #UF87510406 has the weight also at 16.94. interesting.

The tires, Falken Azenis RT615K+ 225/45-17, are in perfect condition other than the usage. I only used these for autox and driving to and from the events. There is less than a 1000 road miles on these and about 10 autox events.

If there is interest I'll post on the market place with pics of course.
