Wheel weight
Does anyone have numbers for the weight of the factory 19/20 wheels on the z51 C7?
I am looking to replace, but do not want to add a ton of unstrung weight at each corner.

This is from subtracting the tire weights from tire rack from the tire/wheel combo from edmunds
Front: 24.5 lbs
Rear: 28 lbs
This is not just the wheels, but the wheel/tire.
From edmunds:
Fronts: 51.5 lbs
Rears: 60 lbs

From tire rack
Tires:
Front: 27 lbs
Rear: 32 lbs
Front: 24.5 lbs
Rear: 28 lbs

The Oz Superleggera III are about that weight but in 9.5"/11" sizes:
Front, 19 x 9.5, 59mm, use 5mm spacer, 25 lbs, 265 or 275 tire sizes
Rear, 19 x 11, 75mm, 28 lbs, 305 tire sizes
Rear, 20 x 11, 75mm, 28.4 lbs, 305 tire sizes
For a lightweight wheel, wait for the BBS RS-GT in more Corvette sizes:
18 x 9, 54mm, 21 lbs
19 x 10.5, 75mm, 23.5 lbs
Oh, the Oz Superforgiata has thin spokes but the wheel is believable as a real forged wheel:
19 x 8.5, 55mm, 17.5 lbs
20 x 10, 79mm, 20 lbs
Not enough sizes ? Go to the Forgeline website and order one-piece forged
