Default 17" chevy star vs 18" 5 spoke titan wheel weights?

How much more do the titan 18" wheels weigh compared to the 17" chevy star alloy wheels?

I want to run the titan 18's so i can run this tire out the back

So does anyone know the weight of those 2 wheels?

Thanks!

The titan wheels are pretty heavy. Not sure about the chevy star ones. I bet their lighter tho.

Just found out that the titan 5 spoke wheels weigh 30#'s a piece. How much do the factory star 17's weigh?

Couldn't tell you for sure, but I'm guessing less than 30. A stock wheel and tire feels like it weighs around maybe 40 lbs? idk.

A stock wheel and tire weighs ~55 lbs. I weighed mine just the other day.

Well damn i wonder how much those 20's I had weighed... I would have guessed those to be around 65-70 lbs, although since I guessed 15 lbs low they could be 80...
