1997-1999 Standard Wheels
Front = 22.0 lbs
Rear = 29.0 lbs

Magnesium Wheels
Front = 20.1 lbs
Rear = 24.0 lbs

2000-2001 thin spoke Wheels
Front = 18.08 lbs
Rear = 20.06 lbs

Don't know about the '00 and up non-thin spoke

Speedline was advertizing 14 lbs. forged wheels. That'd be a seriouse savings in rotating unsprung weight. I also have a connection for 10 lbs. Carbon fiber wheels that are definitely street worthy. I'd love to shave 40 lbs of unsprung rotating weight off of my car. I love those magnesium wheels. It's a shame they aren't lighter. And I too would like to know the weight of the Z06 wheels, if anyone knows.
