What would be best?

 

Not sure what you are asking? If you want to run the C5 brakes you need at least a 17" wheel so skinnies in the front arent going to clear them.

 

i think you should just go with some z06 wheels, total shipping weight for mine was just over 20 lbs for all 4. 17*9 clears the calipers and tires are prety cheap at 100 a piece for some ZRi's.

 

5lbs each??? Better double check.

 

i had 4 boxes...shipping weight for the whole deal was 20 lbs. no rubber, just wheels.

 

Are you sure????

My SS wheels (17x9) where about 22 lbs EACH. Im not sure if there is a wheel out there in that size that weighs 5 lbs each.

 

??? doesnt matter really...all i know is they are really light. i had some boyd's that were heavy as a mug...and some factory salad shooters that were heavy in comparrison.

something to think about is the magnesium C5 wheels. i know Mg is lighter than Al any day. and they're cheap.

 

if ya got the cash ccw makes a 17inch skinny

 

You can't be serious.... 5# per wheel, shipped? The Bogart "drag use only" 15x9.5's are the lightest wheels made and they are close 10# apiece. Check the list of wheel weights in the FAQ in the "wheels and tires" forum.

 

I think what you are trying to get at is the lightest possible wheel infront and correct me if i am mistaken but also the wheel that will create the lest amount to contact resistance to the road?

Then i would not go w/ the 17x9 zo6's even if they are five pounds each , lol

I know weld makes a 16inch wheel might want to check into that or something
