I know this guy is just a dumba$$ but I got a little kick out of it when I was looking for some new wheels on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KUMHO-Ecsta...1QQcmdZViewItem

I coundn't figure out how someone could be off so much on weight...then I seen what he usually sells, wicker, which you can have a 10ft dresser made from wicker and it weigh like 30lbs. So I guess when he picked the wheels up at about 30+ pounds each he thought he was picking up the back of his car or something.

I just asked the seller a question:

"100 lbs. per wheel? They must be pretty good quality. How much is shipping going to be for that to 37076? I might have to come pick them up in person"

Nah, it's more. Like 22 or 23. I'll have to weigh them next time. My rims are 13.3 pounds each.

I know that as a fact.
