Aftermarket Wheels

[CFIT]

The wheels are about 6 lbs heavier than stock. The tire is about 15 lbs heavier.
The rotational mass increase plays a significant role on how much power it takes to get the wheels moving. Was getting 17.7 combined (CAI and free flowing muffler helped), now closer to 17.1. However, I am already thinking of another mod to kick it back up. Muhahaha!

VRock VR-10 recoil 18x9.5, 6x135, 89.1, +15;
BTW 17s don't fit over brake caliper. (ask me how I know)

Gotcha. That makes sense.

Typically an extra 20+ pounds and more rotational mass equates to a much more significant drop than .5 mpg. Different driving types may have played a roll though

Might be a stupid question but if you start adding wheel weight dont you, at some point, begin to exceed the braking capabilities that were engineered into the stock caliper sizes & stock wheel weights? I have no idea at what point that would be but it just seems, logically, you would exceed or deteriorate your brakes abilities if you reach some added weight threshold.

Thoughts?

Increased rotating mass does affect your brakes. Ford likely has a large safety margin built in. Same brakes on the Platinum and they run heavy 22's. No idea how that wheel/tire package compares weight wise to the Raptor. Myself I will be changing to a lighter weight forged wheel to shave weight.

Have you heard about Innov8's new non beadlock wheel? They have non beadlock forgings due in about 4-6 weeks. I don't know the exact weight yet but they should be pretty light being forged without a fake beadlock. They'll be hub centric and use an optional billet cap. Specs will be 17x8.5 +06 or -6. I think I'm ordering a set for my truck in full machined. They're one of the better priced forged wheels I've priced.

Those are awesome! Nice simple clean design. Assuming they will have other colors available?

Full machined, gold anodize, black anodize and custom powder options.

Well I thought I had finally decided on a wheel and now you just bumped it off the top of the list. These are bad ass.

Please put me on a list for these. Thinking either the black anodized or matte black powder....

How much do they, if any, stick out past stock?

Pricing?

Thanks man

Nice wheel, that gold tho...
