Lightest aftermarket wheels for Z06?
Who makes the lightest aftermarket wheels for the Z? So far, I can't find anything that comes close to the factory Speedlines at 19 lbs. front, and 21 lbs. rear. Thanks...

The SSR Comp-H from Tire Rack are lighter. There are teh CCW's, I will be getting Kodak Racing wheels for the track. They are all about the same weight and lighter than the stock wheels.

I have the FIKSE Profil 10 wheels. They are one of the strongest and lightest wheels available.

I think you've got the price a little skewed...
You're looking at $6500 each not for 4. Only $26k in wheels. What a bargain???
Z
After I looked at the link again, I agree it indicates it's the price for 4. Seems hard to believe, but it's there. Oh well.

I wouldn't spend the money but its 40 pounds of UNSPRUNG weight and that is a substantial weight savings AND performance enhancing (big difference in reducing 'unsprung' weight vs 'sprung' weight)...reducing the effect of rotational mass on braking etc...speed costs $$$$ simple as that...........
