Good luck....OEM C5Z wheels are among the lightest you can find for an 18" wheel.

check with LG Motorsports, if memory serves he has a Forgeline set that may meet your needs.

Go weld.

I love ForgeLine's and they make light wheels for sure, but for drag racing and the weight you are looking for you are not going to beat a Weld.

They make the RTS series now in 15, 16, 17, and 18" diameters for the cars. I did set set for a Camaro in 17x4.5 fronts and 17x10 rears. I think the rear wheels were 14 or 15lbs each if I remember right. Fronts were 10 or 11

front stock wheels 18x9.5 22lbs 275/35/18 if i change 235/35/18 i thing good weight with 18x8

I do not know what to do i pay to much money for remove weights i buy four rotors Coleman 32lbs and driveshaft carbon pfadt 4lbs and change seats and change the clutch monster 44lbs to McLeod 30lbs know need only the big problem the wheels I do not care about the shape I want to just remove the weight
