       Do you mean the FPS five spoke Daytona style wheels that came on all 
Spiders Veloce from about 1985 on?  The earlier wheels (fitted 1982 thru mid 
1985) of the same style were Campagnolo and weighed about 11 pounds each.  
They were quite light, but very prone to corrosion.  The only way to tell the 
difference is to look at the name on the rim - or weigh them.
       The later FPS wheels are a much better choice for the street, but they 
do weigh about 15 pounds each.  I would not consider that a heavy wheel.  
Since they are 6 x 14, I would consider the additional rim width an advantage 
over the steel or Turbina 5.5 x 14 wheels.
