Z06 style? I see a lot photos of Z06 track cars running A-mold type wheels.
Aftermarket . I bought a set of NEW C5 Z06 rims not repo's. The front rim weighed in at around 18 lbs(17x9.5), and the rear was around 21 lbs(18x10.5). Stronger? No clue. Not an issue. I am sure GM designed a strong enough rim for there 170 plus mph stock 01-04 Z06.

I would be just guessing. I would say an aftermarket 17x11 rims is around 27lbs.
