Not surprised.
No OEM is ultra-committed to supplying the lightest possible wheel other than Ford using those crazy carbon fiber ones and maybe some more exotic cars. They have bean counters to consider so they probably chose the wheels based on a whole bunch of factors with weight being one of many. My belief on all these wheels you guys covet (1LE, Z28 and ZL1) is that GM probably paid 1/4 of what you would pay for them on the street. They're cool to you because they are on one of the special models but they are likely all put together by someone in the supply chain that doesn't care as much about saving you 4 pounds of rotating mass.
The factory 1LE wheels aren't terrible but you can certainly find lighter ones you just have to pay more.
