Grand sport wheels or replicas? 3lbs each worth $100?

So I'm in the market for some cheap drag radial wheels for my Camaro. I do not drag often but do want a decent set up (decent enough that im getting drag radials lol).

So I figure, hell yeah I'm gonna get myself some cheap 18x9.5" C6 Z06 replicas! Found a pair for $300 delivered.

Then I call up another place and I can get a pair of GM made grand sport front wheels with the proper offsets and everything... for $400 delivered.

What would you do? He says the grand sport wheels are about 3lbs lighter than the replicas. Doesnt sound like alot... 6lbs total savings...

Worth it?

Only one person can answer that.

Yeah, sometimes you have to just search by the wheel specs instead of name.
