Re: Lighter wheels? (jmc5)
Are the stock wheel weights published anywhere? I've never seen them specifically, just GMmarketspeak as the "most mass efficient ever" :rolleyes:
Anybody know pounds and ounces (or Kg)?

Mallett wheels are 6+ lbs heavier than the z06 wheels.

Re: Lighter wheels? (blu by u)
CCW's and Circle Star racing are lighter. Fikse and Forgeline might be lighter, you'll have to check. But yes, it'll be difficult, the stock wheels are pretty damn light.

I emailed Forgeline about possible Z06 wheels about four months ago and they wrote back that they currently did not have anything for the Z06. I thought this a bit strange, but that was the message.
I hope this is outdated info by now, because I've always liked Forgeline wheels.
