Default Lightest 2.2 Beadlocks?

I'm looking for the lightest 2.2 beadlocks available right now. This obviously disqualifies any aluminum ones

My thoughts just from seeing them in pics is that it would be between either the Axials or the Junfac's. I thought maybe even the new Eight Shooters from Proline could also be in the running. I never weighed my set of Axials when I had them...and I have not owned the Junfac's or Proline's yet.

Would someone with these 3 wheels please weigh them for me...with rings and hardware accounted for.

Any ideas other than these 3 that I'm not thinking of?

I don't know on the Junfacs but the Prolines are actually pretty heavy, significantly heavier than the Axials.

If you don't care about looks, the AE ones should be the lightest ones out there

The AE ones don't look too bad with MSD's beadlock rings!
