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)
