Default CCW Wheel Weight

I am interested in getting CCW SP500 wheels but I would not do it if they were heavier than OEM Z06 wheels. Anyone have this data on hand? From what I have read OEM Z06 wheels weigh 19.2 / 21 lbs.

18x10s/18x11.5 are 21 lbs in the front, 22 in the rear. Not much of a difference (compared to other wheels) but you still can't beat OEM when it comes to weight. If you were to go with 19's they would probably weigh even more.

Fronts: 47 lbs
Rear: 52 lbs

CCW Classics are lighter, similar to stock Z06 weights, and they look damn good, too. I have 18 x 10 & 11's on my car and with PS2's the weights were about 1 lb difference over the stock wheels and tires.

Mr Dirty Howie, that is the exact combination I was looking at. What do you think of the R2's?? How well do they handle the power your makes?? Anything will be better than 385RWHP going through OE 275 runflats but I want the ultimate tire hooking experience (outside of Drags/Slicks) My eye has been on R2's due to their soft tread but how well do they hold on??
