Anyone know if there is an appreciable weight difference between the 5 spoke rims and the sawblades??

I had weighed both and lost the numbers in a computer crash. But I can tell you that there is a significant weight difference between the ZR1 sawblades and the *GM* 5 spokes. IMO the GM 5 spokes look great on a C4.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea approx. how much weight savings there was? I agree the 5 spoke looks sooo much better.

Just don't know if I want to shell out the $$$ right now unless there's a significant difference

Kind of remember about 5 lbs difference in each rear rim and 3 lbs diff. in the front. The stock GM ...note GM not the aftermarket garbage are just a pound heavier than the Fikse wheels.
