Default Weight

I did a search and nothing came up, has anybody weighed the replica 18x9.5 c6 z06 wheels yet? Wondering if there boat anchors like the old AFS/Motorsport z06 replicas.

from the stickied wheel weight thread....
they are cruise ship anchors, not just boat anchors....lol I also believe TomZwheels mentioned the weight of his as well and IIRC they are just as heavy.

Yup, sounds about right. 32 lbs is a bit rediculous, but weight is the price you pay for lookin good my friend lol.

Is that a c6 z06 wheel, or a z06 wheel, or a c6 wheel. It doesnt say z06 anywhere in that description.

I'm assuming it's a replica C6 motorsport wheel......like it says

but, a replica ZO6 C6 wheel probably won't be much lighter.

Most replica wheels are at the heavier end of the wheel weight spectrum. From what I've seen, if you want light wheels you usually need to go OEM or not-so-cheap aftermarket (bogart, ccw, hre, etc).

Im just looking for something thats reasonably priced and not a boat anchor. Not really lightweight per se, just something thats not gonna totally ruin my mods.

Or the price you do'nt pay for, 699 a set, may look good and be cheap but that will slow you down, 32 lbs, yikes! I'm calling CCW!! Better take out a second motgage while I'm at it!

32lbs???? That doesn't sound right. Unless C6 Z06 weight more than C6 do.

When I got my C6 18x9.5 the UPS shipping sticker said 28lbs on the box. I weighted them on bathroom scale and they came in at 26.5lbs.

my stocks weigh17, drifters weight 24, and the c6z06 weight 32. To get those replica z06 boat anchors, is a difference in 60lbs just in wheel weight alone!!
