+2. I'm waiting for an announcement from GM though. Everything I'm keeping in the FAQ is from GM. I'm loving the little tidbits the reviewers are adding though. I'd just like an official feature list from GM so I know it's in stone

Than the optional chunkies. It sounds like the chunkies are 20-some-odd pounds lighter than SS wheels, so the standard ZL1 wheels are almost 8-pounds lighter than the optional ZL1 wheels.

Interesting, taking that difference, plus my weight loss todate, I will be 123 + - pounds lighter when on the track

Is it 1.8 per wheel or for all 4 of them combined? If per wheel, that's pretty significant.

It says per wheel.

GearheadSS · 02-09-2012, 01:09 PM

Well that's good. I think they're the best looking wheel anyway.

toilets · 02-09-2012, 01:18 PM

Wait, what? So 7.2 pounds lighter than the optional wheel? Wonder if the curb weight is using the optional wheel and sunroof? 2 of which are not options on my car

So who is selling their 10 spoke wheels?

Is that 1.8 pound wheel difference stated in the print article or in the web article? I didn't see it in the article on the web.
