In the Wheel/Tire Thread in the Appearance section, it looks like 2lbs with tires.

My 01' base model had them, and my 00' had the LS rims. Its been a while but i think @ 4-5lbs. Those steel rims were heavy. My 01' felt quicker when i bought the custom aluminum ones i have now. Off the line, mid and high range. Then agian at the stock tires were 31" tall and the ones i got with the rims were 26.5". Maybe that was it.

well I came into a set today, and I might think about trading the whole set for 2 sixteen inch rims and $50.
If anybody knows of someone that wants to bargain. speak up

01 Thunder, I got a set of both. Let me know what you want to do.

BBLS1: Have we raced??? Do you have a friend that has a black regular cab stepside with a 4.8 5 speed? I think I've raced both of you before. Not sure if it was you or not. I raced the black truck on east and I think I raced you on 13th street by east one night awhile back.

I wish I had a better picture of the back of my truck, that might help you remember me...
