Which stock wheel is lightest weight??
Does anyone know the weight of each of these rims without tires, or which one weighs the least?
stock Magnesium wheels:
stock C5 Z06 wheels:
stock C6 wheels:
stock C6 Z06 wheels:
Or does anyone know where I can find out? I am only interested in stock wheels as a replacement for the wagon wheels. Thanks fellas...

Ok, so its the Magnesium
So after doing research, these are the lightest tires I could find as a set. Anyone used these? If so what are your thoughts?

Those extreme contact is good tire. I have used contact sport 2 and they are good tires for the price and those extreme's are better tires.

C5 Z06 20.5 lbs frt and 22 rear and C6Z 22 frt and 26 rear. Don't know the stock magnesium weight but I expect they are heavier than the C5Z wheels which are featherweights compared to most.
The Z wheels are wider than the standard Vette wheels so you can put bigger rubber on, esp the huge C6 Z rims. Light weight is nice but the more rubber you have the better you stick right.
The stock C6 wheels are extremely expensive where the C5Z wheels are plentiful used.
