Default The Rivas too heavy?

I have been looking for lighter wheels myself. I only have the 17s and they are 28lbs. Do you know how much the 19s weigh?
To add to your list:

OZ Superleggera: 18lbs.
Fikse FM-5: about 18lbs.

Default Naw, just worried about bending them in Boston. The roads are just too brutal...

...especially Downtown with The Big Dig and all. I figure going to a forged 18" will give me a bit more tire height and strength. And since I thinking forged wheels, I was wondering about the weights.

My Riva 19s weigh 29lbs. I really like them but I just don't wanna bend'em.

I've been lucky so far, not a scratch but I don't know how lucky I can stay.
