does it matter if I buy replica or authentic z06 wheels ? Does one of them weigh less than the other ?

 

I believe the only difference is the authentics have the corvette symbol on the center cap... weight may be a difference.. i dont konw, but you can buy the center caps on ebay too.

 

well i want to buy the one that weighs less because it will free up more HP

 

it won't make that much of a difference, you're buying larger than stock rim size... the larger the rim the more hp it takes it to turn one rotation... if you want better speed... go for lightweight 16" racing rims with some nice rubber... unless ur going for that... dont waste your time, just buy what looks good and you can afford and put some good rubber on it.

 

well i am going to be buying 17 in. so it not going to be that much bigger than the 16 in.

 

sounds good, but it still takes more to turn it once then the stock size. And the stock rims are probably heavier then either 17" rim.

 

Hell yea that stock rims are heavy as hell then the c5 vette rims (black) are really lighter... take it off the car & see for yourself,lol

 

so the only diff. is the corvette logo because I am looking a buying 17 in. *9.5 Chrome Z06 replica wheels. Wit new tires

 

will i need wheel adapters??
