Hi guys,
This post is for those of you that are concerned with weight savings on these 18" and up wheels.
We went ahead and added an operation to the mill on the LITE wheels, so that when the center is turned over, and when the pockets are machined in the pad, that we machined a valley in the back of each spoke as well. We have successfully lightened the LITE!
The photographed wheel below is a 19x9.5, with powder coat, and standard hardware, and it weighs in at an eye opening 22.78 pounds! We are still waiting on lightweight hardware, and when it arrives, I would imagine we could get this same wheel down into the 22.0lb range pretty darn easily. That's amazing for a 19x9.5!
