Hi, I am considering some different options for wheels & wanted to know how much the rims weigh.

Just for reference, C5Z06 wheels weigh (you would also have to figure weight of adapter on the rears)

19.6 lbs, front; 21.4 lbs, rear - 01 Z06 forged
19.2 lbs, front; 21 lbs, rear - 02-04 Z06 cast/spun -

Tim,a-molds weigh the same as the ZO6 wheels you posted.

I weighted my old A-molds with a bathroom scale front 19lbs, rears 21 lbs
Remember this was bathroom scale so I'm sure there was some error.

Thanks buddy.....doesn't sound like any advantage at all once you figure in the adapters. Thanks again.

It amazes Me how so many people get obsessed with a couple of pounds of weight, but never consider their hefty contribution,

for the money You are going to spend on the latest ultralight wheels will be more than offset by the last Cheeseburger You ate......

Just My opinion......

the a molds are strong and light, they're awesome wheels, the issue is finding street tires and they can't fit those awesome c6 z06 brakes under them.
