Default Magnesium wheel weights?

Does anyone know what our Magnesium wheels weigh? How do they compare to stock, or even Z06 wheels?

I love the way my Mag. wheels look. The only reason I'd change 'em is for wider ones!

Fronts weigh 19.5 lbs w/o sensor.
I would guess the rears are about 1 lb more due to the width and height difference.
And I agree about the looks, I told the dealer I wouldn't take the car with the base wheels so he ordered one with the mags for me.
I have a 98 Nassau Blue coupe. :cheers:

Front: 17.2
Rear: 19.3
Weighed them myself on a very accurate scale. No center caps, no sensors
