Y'all,
My Tahoe with the 20" Style 5416 wheels is probably going to need new tires within a year, and I'd like to change over to lighter OE GM wheels, assuming there are some that are notably lighter. The only wheel I've ever seen discussed here as being "lighter" are the 18" Style 5355/5356 wheels, but I have never seen any mention of exactly what those wheels weigh. So, does anyone know of any credible source(s) for data on OE GM SUV/truck wheels that are appropriate for the GMT900 chassis?
I'm not interested in aftermarket wheels (expense, increased theft risk, long-term availability, and wanting my Tahoe to look stock-ish) or other OE manufacturer's wheels (e.g. off RAMs) unless the latter are significantly lighter.
To be a bit ornery, I'm also not interested in debating whether lighter wheels are "worth it" or that I "should carry less stuff" or whatnot -- you're welcome to your opinions on all of that, but I'm probably not going to engage on that subject. I'm also not "obsessed" with having lighter wheels, I'd simply prefer them.
Thanks in advance,
Scrappy
