Weight of OE wheels

There's been a bit of discussion about wheel weights lately, as 'Vette owners like to run aftermarket wheels. As we all know, however, all wheels aren't created equally. A number of you members have questioned the weight of the OE wheels. I had an opportunity to use a very accurate scale a few minutes ago, here where I work.

A 2001, thin-spoke, painted, OE front wheel is 18.70 pounds, including the pressure sensor. The corresponding rear wheel is 20.16 pounds.

Hope this helps........

Out of curiosity what was the wheel diameter and width you weighed?

The "fronts" are the OE 17x8.5, and the "rears" are the OE 18x9.5.
