i have noticed this also with other wheels.

although the flow formed barrel of the 9.5" wide wheel would obviously weigh more than the 8.5" it is just a thin 1" wide ring. in this case, low concavity and low offset must have increased the amount of material at the hub of the 8.5" resulting in narrower wheel being heavier.
