That is a light combination! I am sssuming that you are running 18" all around ?? I just mounted the new R6s on my forged aluminum SSRs and thought that I would weigh my combination. Stock Z06 rim sizes with 275-40-17 = 40.5 lbs and the 315-30-18 = 47.5 lbs each. Give or take a pound for the larget tire size and that is a substantial 7 pound difference in wheel weight on the 18" sizes !!!

, 275/35/18 on all 4. I know that SSR combo will be a good one
I always look for safe, light and inexpensive.......now we will see how they track with a blonde behind the wheel

18's all around make sense
