I finally got the time to weigh my 2016 American Classic 420 Aero 3 stock quick release skewers. The skewers that came with the wheelset are CroMo variant. While it does not say anywhere in the provided literature that it is indeed CroMo, the weight does relatively match the advertised weights.
For comparative purposes, these are the weights as declared by American Classic:
Front CroMo: 46 grams
Rear CroMo: 48 grams
Pair: 94 grams
These are the actual weights supplied with the wheelset
Front CroMo: 48 grams
Rear CroMo: 51 grams
Pair: 99 grams
The wheelset is relatively brand new. Used for 1 month and 10 days now with less than 500 kilometers under its belt. There may be some dirt or road particles that lurk in its metallic crevices that got weighed in as well.
Below are the photos of the actual weights.
