Lightest weight wheels?

[ItsNo4RE]

Ok guys, so this eco weight thing has me looking like a cracked out hypermiller! I'm going full aluminum to cut down on weight... need the lightest possible wheel set that could accommodate a 37" tire although ill likely only go 35s...just in case

Method 316 might be a good option. Very light weight, and budget friendly.

Pro Comp 7069, about 22 lbs. They poke out a little, which I'm not crazy about, but I got them because they were the lightest I could find,

Keep in mind that, especially when running large tires, wheel weight has very little impact on efficiency or power. The closer the weight is to the center, the less it matters (linear versus angular velocity etc). You are much better off saving weight on the tires.

I'm just cutting weight where I can and adding weight where I need to... knowing the extra weight of the diesel, im just cutting like a ho who ain't been paid

Reviving this thread. We have a 23 diesel and looking at Metal Cloak for the lift but I want everything else as light as possible. Any suggestions for aluminum armor for the body and what else can I trade out to shave lbs? My goal is to Simplify and add lightness as Mr. Chapman would say.

Artec Aluminum skids, aluminum front stubby bumper. 11" wide tires, light weight wheels (Sub 25 lbs), lightweight winch (Carbon brand, Sherpa brand, etc). Possible spare tire delete and just keep sidewall patches and plugs on hand. Other than that there isn't a ton you can do besides don't add heavy mods. Add only what you need, not what you think you might need. So many people add these huge bumpers, skids, tire carriers, crazy heavy steering components, 37s, racks, etc only to tour around on gravel roads.
