Default Correct Wheel Weight Thread

Ok...I'm not going to go into one of those "why wheel weight is so important" deals (search the forum and enjoy!)..but I have done research all over the boards and found weights to be all over the place. I am hoping others will chime in with their "as close to perfect" real weight to give people who really want to know the "Real Deal". If you are ordering Repros, please weigh before mounting then add to the thread but list the Vender/Manufacturer (if you can) and style (i.e. C6/Z06 style 5 split spoke painted/chrome). I'll start with my weigh in and if I get my "chromies" sold apart from the tires...I'll weigh those and add to the thread. Now, obviously the weights are subjective because most will use bathoom scales so try to only submit if you believe your scale is correct (i.e...if it still says you are your High School weight.....SUSPECT!)

Here goes:

OEM C6 Z06 Speedline Silver Painted 5 split spoke OEM; Front 21.5, Rear 25
I am getting these PC'd this week, if weight is different after, I'll post.
