Ouch. I didnt figure it was that much heavier than their other wheels that are similar.

It may look like an F1 wheel but doesn't tip the scale like one lol.
Yeah Im a little bummed about that. I like them but at almost 10 lbs heavier its not worth it.
Are factory "beadlocks" really the same weight as the standard equipement 17s? The latter are cast, while the optional "bead lock capable" wheels are forged. Given they are the same dimensions and fitment, I assumed the forged wheel would be lighter. Maybe the "beauty ring" adds weight?

I don't think Ford engineered the wheel to be the lightest possible option as it's pretty chunky. The ring and fasteners aren't helping either. Other forged companies that pride themselves on strength and weight achieve much better results. Volk for example offers a 17x8.5 that weighs 18lbs (not for 6x135 unfortunately).

Nothing at all, they're just heavy and this is a lightweight wheel thread.

Seeing as this is a thread and spreadsheet for those of us that do not want to run a set of 20" Cockstars to Starbucks... How about adding a column (Yes/No will suffice) for whether or not the wheel is hubcentric?
Not to mention a column for true bead lock capability.

No problem on hub size.
Non of the beadlocks are under 30lbs. I could probably start a separate sheet?

@Pacific Wheel aren't the Icon Rebound +6mm on the 6x135mm? I've run them and the pair I had on my 2017 certainly wasn't 0mm
