Wheel Weight

My Trek 7.4 has Bontrager Nebula rims and try as I might I can't find any information as to how much they weigh. Do any of you have any suggestions?

FYI - I am wanting to do some Gravel riding and want to use 38 mm tire rather than my 28 mm tires so, I was thinking of new wheelset the issue is whether to put the 38 tires and the 28's on another lighter wheelset. Any suggestions?

I picked up a digital fishing scale at Walmart that is pretty handy for weighing wheels and other things.
(No knowledge of Nebula rim weight.)

Weighing and measuring things 1st hand is your best recourse.

I just built up a Velocity Dyad. It is a nice rim. Will fit a multitude of tire widths.
