With list prices for the wheels around $500 each from a Dealer why even bother? Check the Forum Vendors for takeoffs and the C6 parts for Sale section of the Forum.

By popular demand... I weighed myself and then myself holding said rims.
Hate to tell you doubters... Numbers are still inline.
18x8.5 fronts = 20.5 - 21 lbs
19x10 rears = 22.5 - 23.5 lbs
It also seems to be the slightest variance between two wheels of the same size as well. But that could be expected.
At any rate, this wasn't meant to be a lab-quality experiment. It's just meant to confirm some of the other postings and to do everyone a favor while I had the naked rims. Hoosiers R-compounds will be going on shortly...
That is all, folks.
BTW... You can find stock OEM painted C6 rims for cheap if you look around. I've seen them as low as $275 to $500 delivered for a set, then all over after that. Just ask on the forum and keep checking ebay too.
