17" GM aluminum wheel weight

Does anyone know how much a 17" X 7.5" GM aluminum wheel weighs? In particular, I'm interested in the 5 spoke wheel that comes on 2005+ Z71 Silverados. I've seen these wheels on a couple RCSB trucks and I thought they looked good. Any input would be appreciated.

I'll let you know when I get new tires. I recently bought a flawless set of Avalanche 17's with tires, only had 8k miles on the setup.

When I got my Escalade aluminum 17" wheels they weighed in around 22 to 23 pounds on the bathroom scale.

Not bad...my stock 16's weighed around 18.5lbs.

Thanks 04BlackSilverado. 23 lbs. is approx. what I expected. Wow, Element 80, stock 16" aluminum wheels weigh 19 lbs!?! According to the "tire and wheel weight thread" my stock chrome steel wheels weigh 29 lbs. Hmmm, I might consider some stock 16" aluminum wheels now. I could lose 40 lbs. just in wheel weight! As you can probably tell, I'm interested in performance rather than looks. :drive:
