Chopstix,

Yes, I am aware of the typical unnecessarily heavy alloy wheels but I did weigh the wheels myself on a fairly accurate scale and they are 17lbs for a bare wheel. The bathroom scale and UPS shipping weight confirmed that this was close. The 2000 era 16” stock GM 8 lug “PYO” alloys are notoriously light, unlike the 2007-2010 17” Chevy 8 lug LTZ alloys on my other truck which must weigh at least 50% more.
