    Been to a couple of forums and did my rounds of search. Does anyone know the exact weight of the stock 17 Raptor wheel? After research, I have my eye set on a wheel. However it is 31lbs. Weight is a factor for me as any new wheel must have form and function, which means not weigh more than stock. So has anyone stuck the stock wheel on a scale?

    I had a customer say it was 31-32lbs on his scale. So you'd be staying the same, give or take a pound.

    Appreciation. Looks like if I take this route, no unsprung weight advantage then. :(

    I'm right there with you. I took my 24lb Roosts off for a wheel that weighed 29lbs. It was a sad day lol. I figured it was a little better than stock so not terrible. What wheels are you looking at?

    Liking the concave look, a little different then the prevalent style choices on forums.

    Not necessarily, the new styles might work. I just wanted to pre-warn just in case so you don't mount a set and get stuck with them.

    I'm leaning more towards all black wheels now on my Magnetic SCREW when it arrives and will definitely get my wheels from @CUSTOMWHEELS4U, you've been a big help with the multiple quotes I've asked for lol

    On another note,and probably not the right board to post it on, but I live in the Oklahoma City area, along with another member that I grew up around and met back up with thanks to this forum, but Merle's automotive really does have a sick fog light kit and I gotta say, We "rep the 405" and I'll be going that route http://www.merlesokc.com/raptor.htm
