Mines 295 front, 315 rear. If I get an opportunity I'll post up the weights. I doubt they're light. They're a cheap wheel.

Sorry guys! The car has been down for over 2 years now. Between work, my new baby girl, and girlfriend, time and money are tight. I'm still trucking along, so the best way to see what the deal is with the cars progress is to subscribe to my build thread. I update that periodically with any progress I make.

This is all I have for now. The camaro is hard to photograph in the garage, especially with my buddies ls1 miata taking up some space.
This is not final ride height.

I know this is an one post but, are there any updates. I'm looking to do the same thing, DD in the front and back with the c5 wheels in black. First step is to make sure they will fit up front. Next is to see if oe wherls can do them in all black.

No updates; the wheels/ tires were sold off and I went with weld rts 18x10/11 combo. They fit front and rear though, I just ran a spacer in the front for brake firment.
