They look like two piece wheels, correct? Which series?

They are 2pc. These are the Hybrid Series SP540s.

20x13 Rear
19x10.5 Front
I don't believe there was much weight savings as the front's were approx 26 lbs and the rear are approx 29 lbs. I couldn't find the stock wheel weights, but I can't imagine they are heavier than these. With that said, weight savings wasn't a goal for me.

There should be significant weight savings with the CCW wheels. On my C6, the CCW wheels were 6lb lighter front and 10lb lighter rear, despite the fronts being 1 in wider and the rears 1.5in wider. These were forged C10s. Even the CCW Classics, which I had a set of long ago, were much lighter than the OEM boat anchors.

Just curious, as I am not smart on CCW wheels, and generally multi piece wheels tend to be on the heavier side. That's why I like one piece forged. Although the trade off is replacing the whole wheel upon damage, apposed to a lip, or outer rim on a 2-3 piece.
