Wheelset weight

[Scalpel2]

Hey everyone! So, I got a pair of 2008 Shimano XTR M975 wheels with a shimano lefty hub. Does anyone know the weight of this wheelset? Really want to know, as I am looking on bying some Alexrims XCR PRO (disc) rims. How much weight would I lose with the wheelset if I make that change? Thanks!
