Default what weighs more?

What set of four weighs more and the least?
OEM ZO6 magnesium wheels (dont forget the backs are 18s and the bigger tires) OEM SS wheels, OEM WS6 wheels. Curious because i was wonderin of me and a car are just about even race wise. if he put the bigger tires on would that allow a harder pull on me?

The OEM ZO6 wheels are VERY light. don't know how light though. I picked one up and was VERY surprized.

As for the stock TA and Camro wheels they are probably very similar. Somewhere in the 19 to 21 lb range each, w/o tires.

I dont think the z06 wheels are magnesium because I had the optional mags on a 98 model coupe and they say the zo6's are almost as light but are made of aluminum. not sure but anyway they are lighter than t/a wheels but not enough to matter.
