debating between the black rhino chambers in 17 or the fuel zephyrs....on my white 23.

top and middle is the black rhino...bottom is the zephyr.

I like the black rhinos more as long as they’re not heavier

Weight is the downside to some of the Fuel wheels. Some of them are heavy. I really liked the Fuel Cycle wheel. Has a favorable offset for what I want at 25 but they weigh 38lbs. Same with these Zephyr wheels, heavy. Almost 10lbs more than the Black Rhino.
At what weight do people consider a wheel too heavy and that weight becomes a deal breaker?

Id consider anything over 30lbs as heavy. At 38 you might as well fill your tires up with concrete.

That is what I thought. I thought I finally found a wheel I like in looks + offset and then I saw the weight and I was again kicked in the nuts by disappointment.

You’ll be hard pressed finding beadlocks being under 30 otherwise I agree!

i mean...our trucks are already super heavy...its not like they're track cars or trophy trucks...is it that much of a turn off for people that its a little on the heavier side for a wheel?

I think there’s plenty of wheels to find around 28lbs in a 17x8.5 but you’d be surprised to see how many weight a little more than advertised once you weigh them yourself.

My 37 wheel/tire is around 93lbs. The wheels we're talking about would add near 15 lbs per corner in addition to having a heavier tire. That is a noticeable difference in acceleration, braking and gas mileage. Why would you want to affect all of those if you didn't need to?

also looking at the chamber in 17x8.5 0 but everywhere i checked they're backordered.
