Default Which is lighter/heavier? C5/Y2K or ZR1?

Hey everyone. I was pondering which wheels to get for my car after I finish my cam/converter, and came across the factor of weight. Which is the lighter wheel, assuming both are painted aluminum, the C5/Y2K 17"x8" or the ZR1 17"x9"? How much of a difference is there? Thanks as always.

dont know for sure, but it really depends if you are comparing OEM wheels or replicas. for example, all the replica ZR1's that I have seen are quite a bit heavier than the OEM ones. not sure how they fare up against Y2k's though.

I was referring mainly to replica wheels, so it looks like C5's would be better for cutting down weight.

I have AFS 18 inch Y2K wheels on my car and by just picking up the stock wheels and the new they feel about the same weight.
