Default Wheel weights

Is there a difference in weight between Z07 wheels and the Z06 wheels on the C7? 2nd question is are the OEM Speedline's sold on Florida Speed's site lighter than either of them? Thinking about 2nd set of wheels to run Toyo R888R's.

No difference between the z06 wheels on a car with the z07 package.

Yes the "cup" wheels that were a C6 option and come on the c7 grand sport are about10lbs lighter than the z06 wheels.

And you can save about 5-6 lbs per wheel with forged monoblock in those sizes with a center cap, more without.

Forgeline GS1R in stock sizes with a new set of cup2's are 7# lighter for each front and 10# lighter for each rear than stock chrome z06 wheels with MPSS tires. That's 34# total less unsprung and rotating weight. Can't wait to test em out!
