Typically, as you increase wheel diameter for the same given style of wheel, the wheel weight goes up.
15" to 16" usually means an increase of 2-3 lbs. per wheel
16" to 17" usually means 3-4 lbs.
So, since the E1 wheels are 16", it's quite natural for the same design SVT wheel in 17" to weigh 22.5 lbs.
