Our Bogart wheel weights are not accurate. Depending how we build them affects the weights. A 3.5" front runner can be as low as 6.75lbs, rear as low as 9.5lbs. Weights are dependant on the sytle, series used and how they are put together. The typical F-body design has a front at ~9lbs, ~10lb if we are building them to OEM specifications.
you can shorten this post if you like...figured I'd add a bit of info for explaination.

today i removed the side impact bars.....
i also removed the back bracket for it where the 15mm nut is (where the door lock mechanism is) that weighed 2.75lbs. so for both they weighed 5.5lbs if you wanted to add that as well
i lost 22lbs total today from both doors
-brandon
im debating of taking the wiper motors out as well....and just making sure i have my windshield waxed at all times in case of rain....but im not sure yet

so we'll say the 15x10's are 15 pounds a piece = 30 pounds.
+ 20 for the fronts = 50 for wheels.
what are stock 17x9.5's? 40 a piece?
so thats 160 in wheels.
slicks weight 25 pounds? so 50 for 2 slicks
skinnies are light as **** 20 pounds for both?
so 120 pounds for skinnies and slicks compared to what stock?
200 +?
whats the savings going from 275/40/17's on 17x9.5 z06 rims all the way around to 3.5 skinnies and 10" slick?

275's on all 4 corners = 104 lb.
17x9.5 OE concept Z06's are 26 pounds a piece. = 208 total
208-155 = 53 pounds rotational weight.
