Found a couple different places that put the Titan 18 at ~ 30 lbs. Curious about the split 5 spoke Chevy wheels above, those look nice.
Great part about the 18's is I could run a 285/60R18 Proxes S/T 2 (Nitto's widest 420 in a 18" wheel is 255), keep about the same diameter, pick up a little section width, pick up a little sidewall height, and still drop somewhere around 15 lbs per corner depending on how much the wheels weigh.

Got some more info from my buddy.
Tahoe 20 LTZ wheels are 39 lbs. Toyo Proxes S/T in 275/55R20 are 41 lbs. I'm currently at 80 lbs each.
14/15 Silverado 18's are 30 lbs each. Toyo Proxes S/T2 in 285/60R18 are 40 lbs. I'd be at 70 lbs each. (10 lb drop per wheel)
I also found Enkei ST6 on Tirerack that shows 25 lbs each. With the same S/T2 at 40 lbs I'd be at 65 lbs each. (15 lb drop per wheel)
The Enkie's would run me about what I could buy a set of OEM 18 takeoff wheel/tire package for, and after selling the tires I'd probably be $200-$300 cheaper for the OEM. I like the OEM look better and they are cheaper. I just wonder how much of a difference the extra 5 lbs each would make.

Did this ever go anywhere?? I need new tires on my chrome clad 20s that weight 76lbs each corner. I'm thinking of going to a 17" or 18" wheel when I buy tires, but trying to "weigh" the benefits. I'm looking for mpg and seat of the pants gains specifically
