Default Aftermarket Wheel Weights

Does anyone have any information on aftermarket wheel weights? I am looking to eventually throw some 18's on my sierra and I want to be sure I get the lightest weight wheels.

thanks for any info.

Glenn

I think the Weld EVO wheels are pretty light. But they are pretty $$$ as well.

My Centerline Tracers (18x8) with Yokohama 285/50/18 come in at 67# each. About 12 # more each than stock.

I know you said you want 18's, but I have 17" Eagle alloy six spokes (Series 213) and they are 24 pounds each. I have BFG 275/60R17 tires and the wheel and tire seems to be about five pounds lighter than stock steel 255/75R16 I have never gotten either set on a scale. The wheels and tires look pretty good and were cheap-$280 each wheel/tire.

Moda R7 18x8.5 w/ Yoko 285/50 are ~64#ea. I weighed them with the original Nitto 275/60 but the tires seemed to weigh about the same when I changed them out.
