I think they are a little heavier than stockies. I never had the stock rims. I bought my z a year ago with chrome replicas already installed, so I'm assuming the before and after weight difference is negligible.

Actually looks good. I did not think that these rims would look good on the car until I saw them on your car. Now just think your windows, side markers & rear lights, and lower the car and you will finsih off the look really nice. I am doing the same thing I had chrome z06 w/rivets repos on there and had my stock Z06 rims powdercoated black and gonna try that look for a while. I tend to like the bling factor of chrome more but am putting on the black ones just for some change.

I dont think Im gonna do all of that. I upgraded my side markers and rear lights so I am not going to black them out. Already got pulled over by cali cops for window tint. I did, however, give myself a nice black *** which matches the wheels. Also am considering putting a black ACI spoiler and side skirts on in the future. My ***:
