Did you interpret that I was giving you tone when I said "... Prove it. I'm interested in a proven story"? That wasn't my intent. Honestly. I'm legitimately interested in hearing something more concrete than "Bro no diff. #SeatTimeMod" but the thread has two people claiming that it's virtually irrelevant and I'm surprised. I'd like to learn more if there's more to learn.
But hey if you're too busy doing awesome then I guess you can't teach awesome.
Further to this for the OP - I just got confirmation my friend received some custom drilled Fast FC that are only 20 pounds in a 19x9.5! I think he milled a little more off the flange to get the offset he was after but that sounds crazy light. I think that's 5 pounds lighter than my 18" OZ wheels.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I had a set of Fast wheels forever ago and they had a terrible finish on them and their cheapness showed but it's been a decade and I think things may have changed. Since it's light you're after, I'd consider these.
My 18x8 OZ Ultraleggera were 18.4 lbs each when I got them 14 years ago.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
the trouble with finding cost effective yet light wheels for the Camaro is width. Most options are not wide enough!

I do know the Subaru STI got significantly slower going from 18" wheels to heavier 19" wheels in 2018 and the car magazine acceleration numbers are documented. Only difference being larger wheels and brakes and 0-60 times drop from around 4.7 seconds to 5.3. For the average person on the street it's not a big deal but if you are trying to extract every last bit of performance from your car for track purposes lighter wheels will make a difference.
Go with Forgelines GTD1’s, 18x10.5 = 19lbs and 19x13 = 23lbs. (See the evidence in the link below.). Has the highest load rating of any Forgeline wheel. Forgelines are cost effective for complete custom wheels. The only other forged wheels that are more cost effect and might be as light are CCW’s.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Sure enough the Fast FC04 is 20lbs in a 19x9.5 but unfortunately that's the widest they goThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'd love a set of Forgelines but knowing me and my car ADD the car will be up for sale after the season is over so that's a quick and easy way to loose a couple grand.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm not upsizing I'm downsizing, factory wheels are 20's and as previously mentioned class rules restrict me to same width and +/- 1" dia, hence the 19's. I'd absolutely love to run a square set of 18x11's with a 315 BFG Rival but that won't work.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And thanks for sharing the article, yet another article that shows a lighter wheel is faster

Ended up getting a set of MRR M716 Wheels, price was great and they're 5.2lbs lighter up front and 7.8lbs lighter out back.
Great choice. Really like those ones.
