How much does a 16" steel spare wheel weigh?

[Jigger72]

As per title really, I'm selling a 16" steel spare wheel from my old Octavia I (2004). It's got a 205/55 tyre with it so I need to know the weight, not having an industrial set of scales handy

Does anyone know? Cheers

First time I have ever heard a definitive answer to this question.
