Default ZR1s VS C6s
If i were go wit the zr1s 17x11 wit a 315/35/17, compared to a c6 17x9.5 275/40/17, how much of a weight difference would that be?

^ Couldn't have said it better. That's why I steered away from them and got my C5's.

Honestly, Ive noticed a lot less people are using the ZR1's the last few years for that exact reason...now it seems like the norm is nobody uses them because they think everyone else does..
