Official wheel weights of OE Wheels LLC 17" Camaro/Firebird wheels
Updated - 6/18/09
I just got off the phone with a very nice representative at OE Wheels LLC (a sponsor here).
I inquired as to the weights of some of there Camaro/Firebird wheels in 17" and 18"...here they are: (these weights have been verified and are accurate to 0.5 lbs)
C6 Z06 machined black - 17" x 9.5" - painted 22 lbs. (6902364), chrome - TBD
I even inquired if they can get tires not listed on their site (mounted and balanced)...and yes, they can. They will work, with us on price too to be competitive.
All in all...I'll be pulling the trigger in the next 4 weeks. I would highly recommend talking to these guys...they have a real nice product to offer us.
I will add additional inquiries below:
C5 deep dish chrome staggered 18" x 10.5" chrome 27.5 lbs. (rear), 17" x 9.5" chrome 24.5 (front) (6902051)
18" x 10.5 " painted 27 lbs. (rear), 17" x 9.5" painted 24 lbs. (front)

For reference on 18's, when I got my deep dish c6 z06's from them, the box said 28lbs for the 18x10.5 rears.
Definitally a good company to work with. The wheels seem to be of high quality, and I get compliments all the time on them and people asking where I got them.
Speed...are you stating this from experience, or guessing? Shawn told me the box weight of OE Wheels...so where are you getting the 4 - 5 pounds you are referring to? That's a really heavy cardboard box.
Can someone please confirm this number> If it's true, I'll need to update my numbers for accuracy. I purchased a set with wheels, so I can't estimate box weight on wheels alone.
Lance...if you are monitoring this thread, could you please verify this for me? I'd like to make sure I'm not overstating the weight of your wheels.
If the box is much heavier, it would mean your wheels are very light compared to the competition...good news for us.
Here's the deal, I printed out all of the wheels at the top of the thread and I am going to have them pulled from the box and weighed this week. I'll send them over to Al since he's the man that pulled it all together.
