I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you mean 1310kgs? So 2882lbs. I'm surprised you've got that much of a weight difference between your stock and aftermarkets!
I picked up some 15" split 5 spoke OE alooys for winter yesterday. Holy hell those rims are heavier then I expected!

Actually I'm not surprised that a winter tire & OEM rim are that heavy.
An OEM rim has to withstand a lot of abuse to forestall a rash of warranty claims, add to that a winter tire, which is generally of a different construction that tends to be heavier (Winter tire compounds have to withstand much harsher conditions than a summer only tire)
