Question Any lightweight SS wheel look-a-likes out there?

I freakin love the way Silverado SS wheels look. But, I HATE that OEM wheels like this typically weigh 80+ pounds with tires. Are there any aftermarket wheels that look similar to this that don't weigh this much?

For reference:



If you have some, post up some pics!

I got my replicas with nitto 420s 285/45/22 and they are weighing in at 69lbs ea. Still heavy but lighter than the 80+

Is that wheel and tire? The SS rim only weighs 39lbs and with the tire another 40lbs....

I've wondered the same thing...probably be a bit quicker on the street if it weren't for those heavy *** wheels.

Hence why I'll be selling mine eventually. Unsprung weight is a biatch!
