ZO6 Wheels

I'm considering a set of OE ZO6 wheels and was wondering which version are the lightest?

If there is a better way to find this out via a Search, let me know.

Not sure which are the lightest but my new set of polished Speedlines in stock sizes weigh 18.55 # fronts and rears are 20.0#.

The difference is a few ounces (I have both kinds, the Alcoa and the Speedlines 18x10.5s). Unless you are trying to win Le Mans, it's negligible.

I'm not sure which are which? I'm assuming the Alcoa are the grey and the Speedlines are the polished or chrome?

Don't want chrome.

I have a perfect set of OE Mag's but I still can't get enough tire on them, need at least 10.5" on the rear.

Thanks!!

Speedlines are lighter (spuncast) than the Alcoas (forged) by a few ounces per wheel.

OEM Speedlines come either painted (a slightly lighter silver color than the Alcoas), or polished (from the Z16 version of the Z06). Speedlines will say "Speedline" on the back side of the wheel spoke; Alcoas simply say "GM" on the backside of the spoke.

HTH.
