Default C7 Wheel weights, weight per wheel

As the title says, I am interested in the actual weight of the C7 wheels, not balancing weights.

Weight of base 18/19 wheels

Weight of Z51 19/20 wheels.

I like that TSW lists the weight of their wheels and I have seen many base and Z51 bare wheels for sale so weighing the wheels should not be a problem....I hope.

Thank you.

I am a bit surprised at the weight of the Z51 wheel/tires of 51.5 lbs front and 60 lbs rear. Part of this is due to the 4 - 5 lb extra weight of the run-flat Super Sports vs. the same size non-run flats. However, there are many after market wheels that will save you considerable un-sprung weight, especially if you switch to the same size Pilot Super Sport non- run flats.

For comparison, my Ford Flex Ecoboost 255-45-20" wheels and Goodyear A/S tires weigh 62 lbs. By switching to 18" Pilot Super Sports on TSW Interlagos, I actually saved 18 lbs a wheel! Tires are 8% shorter, but the weight difference kept the fuel mileage at equal or better.

While my order includes black Z51 wheels, I think I should have saved that extra cost and purchased new light weight wheels, and perhaps also sold my run flats.

The numbers are in, could't find the base wheel weights anywhere, went ahead and order me a set of Z06 replica wheels 18/19 , walked over to the supermarket weight scale and here it is:
2014 base Corvette Stingray Wheel weights:
Front:24.5 lbs.
Rear: 26.5 lbs.
and in case anyone is interested....
The Z06 Ebay Replica wheels:
Front: 24 lbs.
Rear: 29 lbs.

Yes 29lbs!, I was expecting something similar...
