Lightest 18 inch wheel?

[MichF150]

I'm in search of a lightweight wheel for my Powerboost - Max tow. The lightest I've found is this Volk Racing TE37xt 18×9 @ 19 pounds. Anyone found anything light like this? These are 900-1000 each so it's pricey but I can run much larger tires with the same unsprung weight.

But are these built to handle the weight of a truck though? What is the load rating? TE37s are very popular for CAR racing.....

Lightest I have found that are actually built for trucks are these....

Yes this is built for the raptor. I’m sure this is the strongest / lightest wheel available. I’m just wondering did anyone has found something similar but better priced.

What is the weight of a stock OEM 18" wheel?

37 pounds for the factory 20 inch I'm replacing.

I am going to say NO. They are expensive because of how they are manufactured (fully forged.) That's pretty much the going rate for those.

Not for the poor (myself included) but these are 18lbs and are Carbon Fiber

I’m always on the lookout the best 17” wheel and tire that’s light, but strong enough for off road. Currently running methods and BFG C load. Definitely not the lightest, but need something strong. Would love to run a 17” wheel and like a 33-34 tire that’s the same weight as the stock 18” setup.

I weighed my current tire unmounted, then mounted on the 18" sport wheel. Quick math had the wheel at 33 lb.

Unmounted SL Grabber ATX tire weight at 47.6 lb: #27

275/70R18 SL 116T Grabber ATX + 18" Sport wheel combo: 80.3 lb

OEM wheels are designed to be lightweight.

Does anyone happen to know the backspace, offset, and weight of a factory Raptor wheel? Thinking that might be a good option to clear my UCA’s while staying lightweight

Look at BRINK Wheels: Performance Flow Formed Wheels
Mine are 20 inch though and weigh 31.5 lbs.

They have some good looking wheels, but only save about .9 lbs over my Method wheels I currently have. Thanks though!
