Default Stock C6 rim weights?

I have a new 07 C6 with the stock painted 5-spokes. Does anyone know what the weights of them are?

Sizes: 18x8.5 fronts and 19x10 rears

I'm looking for another set and I'm trying to make sure I at least don't get anything heavier.

Thanks.

Lots of posts over the last 2 years on this. General consensus of all the posts seems to be 22#+ for the fronts and 24#+ for the rear for the stock C6 wheels.

Good luck getting an aftermarket manufacturer to quote exact weights on replacement wheels.

I can tell you from my own bathroom scale weighing that Factory Reproduction C6 Z06 style in C6 sizes weigh aproximately 2# more than the Chevy stock wheels.

I am not sure about painted wheels, but my OEM C6 wheels were

21 lbs for the front and 23 lbs for the rear.....using the high tech bathroom scale method.....painted wheels are likely very slightly more.

Hope that helps!

From holding the stock painted C6 wheels and then the painted Factory Reproductions Z06 style in the same sizes, they "felt" very close. FWIW.

Mine are 24 each. My digital bathroom scale reads in 1/2 pound increments so there could be close to 1/2 pound difference between front and rear. BTW, my Factory Reproductions Z06 replicas (C-6 size) weigh 1/2 pound more.
