Default Definitive weight of OEM Z06 polished wheels

Just weighed my new OEM Z06 wheels and I know there was a lot of questions posted on here about this topic so I thought I'd share what I found out.

The rears are 20lbs each and the fronts are 17lbs each. I weighed them on a sliding weight scale (the kind you see at the gym) so Im pretty sure this is an accurate measurement.

the oem zo6 wheel will not weigh the same as the aftermarket wheels because the factory zo6 wheel is made from spun aluminum i beleive and aftermarkets are cast.

Thanks for that info. That is lighter than I thought they would be.
