my stock wheels with tires 235/55/16 weighed around 45 pounds, my 18x9's with tires weigh 56 pounds and with those on i lose .3 in the 1/4.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a> -
according to UPS when I had 1 wheel shipped to me it was 22lbs so proably knock off a pound or 2 for the box and styrofoam peanuts and I think it would be safe to say 19-20 lbs.. about going to 17's unless it is a purpose built light weight wheel I think the consensus is that you will increase the wheel weight..
edit: discovered a typo...

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...2 weeks ago
