Are Mercury G3 Gravel Wheels really this light?

Hi,

So I just weighed a pair of Mercury G3 Alloy gravel wheels and they came in at 1558 grams. On the Mercury website, these are listed at 1799 grams. Their carbon G1 are listed at 1500 grams.

I then went and weighed some BTLOS carbon GX30 wheels and they weighed 1509 grams. This is right about where they are supposed to be.

Does this make sense that the allow Mercury wheels could be 250 grams less than their stated weight?

Thanks,
Robert
