Default Weight ?

Just a quick question, does anyone know the weight of an original 10.5" rear rim (without tire) from a 2003 Z ??

Thanks

Stock 2002-2004 Z06 wheel weights

Front 17x9.5" = 19.2 lbs
Rear 18x10.5" = 21.0 lbs

21 lbs seems to be the answer. I was just curious as I would like to go to 12 inch wide rears for bigger DRs, but I do not know if 9 extra pounds on each wheel is worth it ... Oh 30 lbs is what the 18 X 12 replicas of the 2003 ZO6 rims weigh....

Nine pounds is alot of extra weight per wheel. I would save up some $ and look into some 12" CCW wheels.

Yea, I agree 9lbs is a fair amount per rim. The problem on my end with the CCW or any of others is they are not the OEM look I want to keep on my 03Z with 4700 miles.... problems...problems.... LOL

You should be able to fit a 305 (Nitto?) or a 315 (M/T?) drag radial on the 10.5" wheel.

Yes thanks, I currently run 315/30/18 BFG DRs which "barely" fit on the 10.5 stock rims. I could always use more of a contact patch... :))
