Hello everyone.

I'm looking to finally get rid of the snow tires on my 01 Z. I originally had 16" wheels on there (which are now exclusivley used for my snow tires). I'm looking to get 17" wheels as a compromise between $ and performance.

Now, the question: Does anyone know how much the 2001 16" wheels weighed, or where I can find out? (They were just the 16" aluminum, not the chromed ones, if that makes a difference.)

The reason I ask is because I do a bit of autocross, and I want to make sure I don't increase the unsprung weight. Depending on how much, I'd even like to decrease it a bit, but we'll see.

Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance.

 

Does anyone know where I could get some 17" 10-spoke SS wheels. My Z-28 is craving some.

 

Honestly..... Ebay has everything... just search 17x9 or 17x11 and you can pick up a set.

 

try slponline.com for those wheels...they have a really good deal on take-offs...399.99 plus shipping!!!!!!!!!!

 

the 16" wheels from what I understand were the absolute lightest wheels ever offered on any Fbod..

Thats pretty kewl.. I love mine and will be keeping mine.. I may just powder coat the flourescent yellow or black.. not sure yet..

 

Check Brent's (BrentZ, LT1 Tech moderator) website. He has weights for a huge list of F-body components, including at least some wheels.

SLPonline.com !!! i bought my 10 spoke SS 17x9 take-offs from them about a month ago (4wheels for $399.99).. they are sooo sweeet.. the stock 16x8 salad shooting things make me sick now :/ (prolly cause mine all got mauled from the concrete sewer drain i hit??)


one complaint. the wheels arrived all boxed nice and neat... and i got S I X T E E N wonderful lugnuts! to bad the wheels have a five-star bolt pattern and i had to order a new set of lug nuts cause i was four short... >_<

chrome will not add enough weight to make any sort of difference.

 

Try Gm Parts direct. I got my 35th rims from them.

 

Hey tekker, how much did the shipping from SLP cost? I've seen the wheels go for 390 on ebay, but I might buy from SLP if it costs less after shipping.

 

Ebay is probably the cheapest

 

I got my 10 spokes from SLP... and my ZR1s are from there too.

 

the shipping was like $62 i think? or mayb a little more..? is was like 16 or 17 bucks a wheel i think.

Even if they are lighter, they will still take more power to turn them. The reciprocating mass is farther away from the hub, which is what really matters.
