Aloha,
I am considering a 4 " lift and running 35 Toyo MTs. Since the MTs are heavy I was looking for a lighter rim to reduce unsprung weight and related component wear. I was wondering what the weight of a stock steel 5 spoke rim was? Anyone know? I am trying to find the lightest most durable combo. Here is what I found thus far:

Tires:
Toyo 35x12.5x17- 83 lbs
BFG 35x12.5x17- 68 lbs
BFG 315s - 61 lbs

Rims:
Hummer H2 - 32 lbs
Stock Dodge 5 spoke Steel - ??
Stock Dodge Alloy - ??

Trying to find the best value and lightest weight. The H2 rims are relatively cheap. I dont think I want to stay with my 315's with the lift..but possibly if I can get the clearance I am after.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Mike

 

Dodge Chrome Clad Steel Wheels 41lbs.

Dodge Alloy Wheels 26lbs.

 

Kewl,
Thanks much ....looks like running BFG 35 MTs and stock alloy rims is just as much weight as the steel and 315's I am running now.

 

When I had BFG 315 ATs on chrome clad steel wheels each weighed in around 106lbs. Not a lot for a heavy duty deisel truck, but I did have a matching spare under the bed. So I was carrying close to 540lbs of tire and wheel.

Mounted the 315s on dodge alloys and immediately dropped 80lbs or so. Now have BFG 285 ATs on dodge alloys, definitely easier to man handle.
