Your tires HAVE to weigh more than the stock tires so even if your tires are just 5 lbs heavier that would put them at 36 lbs front and 40 lbs rear. So if your whole wheel weighs 55 lbs, that means in the rear the rim would weigh only 15 lbs? I don't think that's possible in that size, even for forged.
I'm looking at 3-piece forged in a 20x9 that will weigh about 24 lbs and those are HRE caliber rims. If you have time and it's not too much hassle, try removing one of your rear wheels and weighing it again; I'm guessing more in the 70-75 lb range. Be interesting to find out.
What tires did you get and what size/profile?
