well, not really.

25 pounds for a 16x7 is heavy.
25 pounds for a 17x10 is not lightweight but itsd not necessarily heavy.

25 pounds for an 18x10 is not too heavy.

Well, I consider 20 lbs and under "light", or "not heavy" for an 18x10. The lightweight ones are 17-19 lbs.

In the context of FD wheels, 25 lbs is heavy, I don't care what size it is.
