I'll weigh the 19" m&b propellers for reference as well.

I spent some time on the phone with a tire supplier, and his answer for the weight of the front Continental Sport Contact 2 245/45x18 100W tires was 27#. He said the rear 275/40x18 103W tires were 25#. Now this looks to be opposite of what I see for other brands of tires, so let's just say these tires are 25 to 27 # each. So using Foosh's bathroom scale, that puts the front wheels at 22-24#, and the rear wheels at 26-28# each. Close enough for horseshoes?

TireRack quotes the P-Zeros at 24 front, 28 rear. Wheels (with TPMS) are therefore 32.6 frt and 31.4 rear? Unlikely.

Nonetheless, the only thing that matters is the total mounted weight on each corner, and there is no question that those JLR cast wheels are very heavy.

I was able to get an employee (Nishan) with StockWheels.com to weigh a few Jaguar wheels. I don't think they had any F-Type wheels in stock, but here is what he had. The easy answer, is the stock Jaguar wheels are heavy.
XF, 18x8.5, Front/Rear, 10 Y Spoke, 25.8#
XF, 18x8.5, Front/Rear, 6 Spoke, 26.6#
XK, 18x9.5, Rear, 7 Spoke, 29#
XF, 18x8.5, Front/Rear, 7 Spoke, 26.4#
XF, 19x8.5, Front, 10 Double Spoke, 33.8#
I will post one more weights that I get from them.

*The GP wheel is less than 20lbs, while most of the Works wheels are 23-24lbs.

Just looking up the wheel and tire weights of the R53 Mini fitted with 18" wheels suggests that Jaguar wheels are pretty light for their size. Consider: an 18" wheel for a tire just 205 wide weighs over 25lbs* While this can be bettered, much worse are available aftermarket...
*The GP wheel is less than 20lbs, while most of the Works wheels are 23-24lbs.
*The GP wheel is less than 20lbs, while most of the Works wheels are 23-24lbs.
The weights of wheels only published above are consistent w/ the tire/wheel mounted weights that Unhingd and I posted.

So using Foosh's bathroom scale, that puts the front wheels at 22-24#, and the rear wheels at 26-28# each. Close enough for horseshoes?
Then I found and old XF post that listed the difference in weight for optional wheels and tires, with the 18" Velas as the base. These increases were for 4 wheels and tires. The 19" wheels and tires increased the weight by 11.5#, 28.2#, and 35.3# for the 3 optional wheels. The 20" wheels and tires increased the weight by 33.5#, 35.7#, and 43.7# for those options. So 19" Jaguar wheels and tires add from 3# to 9# per wheel, and 20" add from 8# to 11# per wheel.
Again, these are XF wheels. I still cannot find detailed information on the F-Type wheels. But, as Foosh did, if you have your wheels off, please weigh the wheel and tire, and let us know the weight and wheel and tire details. For us detail types.

Your 19" wheels and tires are 7.6# front and 6.4# rear heavier than the 18" Velas, and that seems to fit with the info Jaguar listed for XF upgrade wheels.
