I just weighed my stock chrome wheels with GY SC tires at 30psi with 6/32" tread left.

Front 18" = 50lbs
Rear 19" = 60lbs

This was on a bathroom scale so figure maybe a 1-2lb accuracy discrepency. Just thought some people would like to have this info.

Good Info......Better start doing some burn-outs to get rid of all that tread weight

Cool, thanks for the info.

Anyone know the weight of the stock silver painted split spoke 2008 wheels?

JSB LS3

I'm curious about this too....

They would be a whole lot lighter if a woman weighed them!

The next time I take my tires to the bathroom I'll weigh one of them

Sorry, I got carried away!

That is why Callaway offers the Dymag Carbon Fiber/Magnesium wheel as an option for C6 Corvettes and standard on their C16 Corvette. The outer shell is made of carbon fiber and the center spokes are made of magnesium and attached to the rim with titanium hardware. A 20 x 12 wheel weights about 16 lbs. You can easily lift it with one hand.



This wheel alone easily removes 20-30 lbs of weight from each corner of the car depending on what the car originally wore.

For comparison,
Shipping weight on Z06 replicas from Tire Rack with Hoosier R6, 275/35-18 and 325/30-19 are 45lbs front and 63 rear.

I'll take your word for it, but (24 - 16) = 8 and (22 - 16) = 6.

The weights for the stock C6 painted rims:
Front: 22.4 lbs w/o tires, w/TPM
Rear: 24.4 lbs w/o tires, w/TPM

60 pounds for the rears, I knew those big 19" runflats were pigs. I just weighed some brand new drag radials along with the 17" wagon wheels (C5 fronts).

They weigh 43 pounds each. That's a 34 pound savings for the car. Plus, if I remember right, the rule of thumb is that rotating mass is worth twice, so it's equivalent to a 68 pound weight savings. Let's see, not only is it quicker because my 60 foots are .1 quicker, but it's worth another .06 seconds due to the weight savings. Also, since 60's are worth twice in the 1/4, those lighter drag radials are worth around .26 seconds in the quarter mile.

my drags and repro 18x9.5 rims weigh 1/2 pound more than my stock 19x10 polished and runflats at 52lbs each so the drags and repros weight 52 1/2 lbs. i cant wait for a drag pack

k0bun

Dennis, I was talking with Dave about that. Drag pack and your in the 10s. Just do it damnit!!

When I did my Widebody conversion I weighed my '08 split spoke wheels, with sensors and Z51 tires, they had about 2k miles....The front weighed 49.6 lbs, and the rear weighed 56.6 lbs.

The wheels I put on were 2007 GM polished Z06 wheels with SC tires, and sensors (~300 miles). The front wighed 50.6 lbs., and the rear weighed 60.6 lbs

Wow! Where did you get that list ??

This place rocks!

I just weighed my 2004 C5 Z06 QE1 front wheels (17 x 9.5) and they weighed 18.6 lbs.

I just weighed in my BFG Drag Radial 2's 275/40-17 with C5 Z06 2004 QE1 oem front wheels 17 x 9.5. The wheels weighed 18.6 lbs each and the tires weighed 27 lbs each making that 45.6 lbs each. I guess your Nitto 555R's weigh a few lbs less per than mine. Hopefully the grip on my BFG's will make up for it
