I think our wheels were about a pound each last year. Then again, we were concerned about machining time, and not weight. It would have taken twice the time on the lathe/bridgeport to take another 1/4lb out of each wheel... Not worth the effort for us, though YMMV. Good luck with the lighter wheel.

Our wheels weighed 0.23 lbs last year. granted they're 4" not 6". 1.5 lbs is a pretty significant amount of weight when you really start counting grams so to speak. Whether it's worth the time or not is another story
