Lightweight 17 Inch Wheel Options

[Pacific Wheel]

@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

A someone who also ran them you think I would have caught that myself lol. They are +6. Sheet is fixed

32-33lbs. Similar to stock.

My God, the heft of the OEM Beadlocks, switching to Methods and BFG KO2 37s vs stock beadlock and tires are actually a weight savings lol.

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).

Gotcha. I use forged wheels on all of my other cars, with like 8 sets of them now (between what's mounted and what's stacked up in storage). I go with forged over cast or flow formed, not just because they are made to order (size/fitment/finish), but because they're lighter, stronger and higher quality. That's why I'm surprised to hear the forged OE 17s are as heavy as their cast counterpart.

I've resisted spending for forged on the Raptor, partly because there are so few options in 17s. I've considered a couple, one from Brixton Forged ($5k) and another from 1221 (even more). Makes $1500 for a set feel disposable, so I don't mind if they get trashed on the trails. LOL.

Black Rhino Crawlers at the moment but there a few new Black Rhino's that they haven't released pics on yet that are pretty awesome. Either that or I might send some Roku's to OMF for simulated drain rings. Not certain yet.
