I'm also curious what the stock 16s and 17s weigh. I did a search and one person estimated one of them was around 20 lbs. Anyone know?

I weighed my stock 16" alloys with the tire on and it was approximately 41lbs.

According to GM, the shipping weights are as follows;Steel Wheel 23.16 lbs16" Alloy 21.80 lbs17" Alloy 24.20 lbsShipping weight means a bare wheel, no valve, or weights, packaged to ship. I'd estimate 4 ~ 5 lbs of packaging material per wheel.

shipping weight.....does that mean the shipping of each wheel packaged in a box or bear because when I bought my new wheels 15lbs 17" the shipping weight included the box packaging. Just trying to clairify. And just incase you are curious the lighter wheel makes the pickup better.

Just remembered something, the steel wheel will be shipped loose, no box, no packing, so take that into consideration on your weights.
