Default Billet Specialties Street Lites...56k beware

One tidbit of information. I weighed my BS 17x11 rims and my C6 Z06 rims and they weighed the same... I will weigh all of them though. I am waiting on the new front rims to come in and will weigh them too.

Left Rear

BS 17x11 =50.5lbs with 315/35/17 Nitto NT05R
C6 Z06 17x9.5 =51.3lbs with 275/40/17 Nitto 555

Right Rear

BS 17x11 =51lbs with same tire as above
C6 Z06 17X9.5 = 52.2lbs w/ Nitto 555

Left Front

BS 17X8 =41.7lbs with ECSTA AST 245/45R17
C6 Z06 17X9.5 = 51.4lbs w/ Nitto 555

Right Front

BS 17x8 = 42lbs w/ ECSTA AST 245/45R17
C6 Z06 17X9.5 = 50.9lbs w/ Nitto 555

BTW 16x8 TA rims w/tires were 47.3 lbs

They look good. They don't promote those as being light FWIW but they look darn nice.

I know this sounds funny, how do you get big pictures, I keep getting little pictures when I posted my drag set up.

The front BS was 5.5, the backs were 7.5.

As for the weight, they may not be advertised as a light weight wheel, but they are lighter if you take into account the size difference of the rim and the tire.

It is in the very first post. Rears are 17x11 fronts are 17x8. I did not want to go too skinny up front.
