I know that the Ulysses wheels are reinforced but I have never seen anyone post about the difference in weight between the XB & Uly wheels. So I am curious as to what the difference in unsprung weight would equal out to. Does anyone have the weights?

Court said that the weight difference was around 1lb per wheel.

The lip is what is reinforced. The spokes are the same from wheel to wheel.

I don't really notice that much of a difference since I run both. I'm sure a super technical racer person would notice.

I'm not that person.

I run off road with the standard Lightning wheel, 10k miles of dirt grime, mud, rocks and muck, they seem to hold up just fine.
Besides they look great in BLACK

"Besides they look great in MUD!"

I had heard about one pound each as well.
