SLP ZR1's 17x9 either painted or chrome both weigh 20.25lbs. It also lists WS6 17x9 wheels as 20.25lbs. 10 spoke 17x9's in silver are 20.5lbs and 10 spokes in chrome are 21lbs. Painted Firehawks are 22lbs and chrome Firehawks are 23lbs. Painted 16x8 Firebird wheels are 19.5lbs
These are according to the wheel spec chart from SLP's website.
