That center cap is at least a pound. On the street set the center caps can just be pushed out.
As far as the C10, C14 or C2K I believe the C2K is the lightness of the three at 23 1/2 lbs each.
C14 at 18x13 = 25lbs
C10 at 18x13 = 24.3lbs
C2K at 18x12 = 23.8lbs
Classic 18x12 = 21.6lbs
the Classic hardware
Race version wheels are machined to accept grade 8 cadium hardware as it's less expensive and does the job fine. Street version wheels are machined to accept ARP stainless steel hardware as it will provide a better finish over time. Wheels utilizing the cadium bolts are machined to accept the nuts on the outside/face of the center where with the ARP bolts the nuts are located on the inside of the center.
However, which ever one John recommends for the track

ROUGHLY, based on weight per inch of width, they would fall in this order from heaviest to lightest:
C2K: 1.983
C14: 1.923
C10: 1.869
Classics: 1.8

That is why I mentioned about which John ( CCW owner ) would recommend.
also wt in the center of the hub ( closer to the center of rotation ) has less of a rotational mass effect then wt at the rim

That is with any race wheel. One needs to check for cracks all the time.
That is also why I like the black. Clean them off and look for small cracks.
Any race wheel does have a finite life time.
Next set most likley will be the C2K as these will fit over a BBK set up.

Melting Slicks
You have the option to have steel inserts for the nut seat area, but they are mainly for a track only car that will see planty of use.
You can get street sets for track use with the holes to lighten the wheel that dont go all the way through. This looks much better.
There are cases of Classic center section failure witout stress crack warning. I recommend replacing the fronts after a certain amount of track time.
