Whhel weights

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I failed in my attempt to search our archives....I'd like to know the respective weights of the current style cast wheel, forged wheel, and Z06 wheel (I believe the '02 Z06 wheel is supposed to be a lb. or two lighter than the '01 Z06 wheel). Thanks.

I found this on my HD.

1997-1999 Standard Wheels
Front = 22.0 lbs
Rear = 29.0 lbs
1997-2000 Magnesium Wheels
Front =17.0 lbs
Rear = 19.5 lbs
2000 Standard Wheels (early and polished)
Front = 18.08 lbs
Rear = 20.06 lbs
The mag front are a half pound lighter than the QF5 front.

Thanks for the reply Tom. I would assume the current cast (painted) 5 spoke rim is heavier than the forged - any idea of how much?

Wamara,

Sorry but I do not have that information.

Don't forget the weight of the various tires with the same size, because they vary greatly! Think of the combination tire/wheel weights...
