Aftermarket Wheels

Unsprung weight is anything below the springs, or not supported by the suspension like the wheels, tires, brakes etc. The benefits of reducing unsprung weight are many, it helps to improve handling, acceleration and can enhance nimbleness. Now on a 3 ton truck it will have less of an effect than on a sports car but it helps nonetheless.

For example, I have a 3700 pound car and I reduced my unsprung weight by ~60lbs with brakes and wheels - the car felt like I had added 60HP, braked better and felt much lighter on its feet.

Ordering method nv on toyo open country m/t. Looks like 37 x 12.5 17 with CAS leveling system. Not gonna be jumping anything so I hope this setup works without a lot of modifications to the body/fenders.

Might be a dumb question, but what benefit does a lighter wheel have? Whether it's 20lbs or 35lbs, what's the difference if it's rolling? I've heard of "unsprung weight", but what does that help with ? Jumping? I'm not planning on jumping, so should I be concerned about the weight of a wheel?

Unsprung weight and rotating mass are the enemy of performance. Reducing both with help in most all areas of performance and drivability. Acceleration, handling, braking, fuel economy, are all improved. Removing 1lb of unsprung weight is the equivalent of reducing the static weight by 7-10 pounds. By reducing the wheels by 15lbs/ea you are reducing the unsprung weight by 60lbs. In overall performance gains that equates to reducing the overall weight by 400-600lbs.

The standard uses a push thru from the back style cap so hub rings won't work unless you lose the the cap.

How about the Roost? Are those hub centric? Or can rings work with those? Do they come with the rings like the fuels do?

The wheel trim matches truck trim perfectly.

Wheels are + 6 offset.

I had trouble finding lugs. These were super cheap but great quality. Paint did not chip off at all with install.

Bought the Wheels from Mr. Wheeldeal. $879 including tax and shipping. Shipping only took 5 days from the day I ordered.

The Trophys look great on the black truck! Any idea what they weigh? Looked on the fuel website, but no weight listed for 17x8.5

I think Trophy's look boring... just me. I do like that the 'deadlock' matches the fender flares but still boring in my opinion.

I had a set 2-3 years ago. I recall them being about 26-27lbs. I still have my spare somewhere in the warehouse. I'll try to weigh it if I get a little free time today.

It says 26 lbs on the Fuel website.
