FR wheels
20x10's satin black = 29.6 lbs.
20x11's satin black = 31.0 lbs.
Michelin Pilot Supersports
285/35/20 = 30.6 lbs.
315/35/20 = 33.5 lbs. (fat bastard of a tire)
Front total 60.2 lbs. (.8 lbs. less than my stockers, .6 of this from the tires)
Rear total 64.5 lbs. (3.0 lbs. heavier than my stockers, but with wider tires. Looks like the tires are 1.6 lbs. of the difference)
GY F2's
Front 31.2 (285's)
Rear 31.9 (305's)
ZL1 stock black 10 spokes with tires
Front 59.0 lbs. (285's)
Rear 60.0 lbs. (305's)
ZL1 stock polished 5 spokes (what I currently have)
Front 61.0 lbs (285's)
Rear 61.5 lbs. (305's)
Stock SS Camaro (you guys replacing these will save at least 11 lbs.!)
Front 62.3 lbs.
Rear 68.0 lbs.
Hope this helps somebody.

I enjoy reading this kind of stuff...I did lots of weight figuring on my car and I'm loving the results. I will likely end up with 9" wide polished versions all around on my car, which will result in maximum weight savings. I should lose somewhere between 14 - 16 lbs of rotating mass. Gotta love that!

Both look great! When I first saw the FR wheels on your car, they made me go
in a good way! lol. That said, the black looks good too, b/c it seems like you have a black/green theme going there.
To me, the FR wheels stand out more, and make the car look more sporty and "muscle-ish" whereas the black wheels are more of a show car look, and less of a performance look.
I can appreciate black on certain cars and certain colors, but honestly I'm a polished guy through and through....I want that shine! I can appreciate chrome as well, but in this case I feel the polished is just right.
