Default OEM Wheel Specs

Can anyone tell me the offset and backspacing and weight of C5 wheels, both the thin spoke and the Z06 wheels? I can find data on the aftermarket ones, but I have not found it for OEM? :confused:

I only had Mags and Z06 ones:

Mags offset front/rear: 60mm/65mm
Z06 offset front/rear: 54mm/56mm

With this you can calculate the backspacing= half rim width plus offset plus lip.

Mags backspacing front/rear: 6.8"/7.5"
Z06 backspacing front/rear: 7.1"/7.7"

Hope I did the math correct. Took 5mm for the lip.

Thanks! How do the wheels compare in weight, are the mag wheels any lighter?
