I have read some posts that say the chrome 20's and tires are a fair amount heavier. RTKILLA might have the scoop.

The posts I have seen look like about 20 pounds per wheel/tire heavier. Too much extra weight for me. 80 pounds of unsprung rotating mass is huge even on these torque monsters.

I feel a 12.xx coming on.

I don't think there 80 pounds, but there heavier then hell. Compared to slicks and stock rims and tire.

But to tell you the truth I don't race with them on the truck so its not really that big of a deal to me. I swap out all my rims and tire and put on the stock ones for now. and the slciks int he back.

I want to find some nice 5 inch wide front runners for the truck, but I can't find it anywhere.

Hey the look and the smile on my face is more then enought o compensate for the weight. everybody that see's the truck now falls in love with these wheels.

Now I just need to do something to the back off it so I have all four side different, but roll pans are a hot item now a days. 6 month to get one, DAMN!
