NewGen: LITE Wheel, check out the weight savings!

[DriverzInc]

Hi guys,

This post is for those of you that are concerned with weight savings on these 18" and up wheels.



We went ahead and added an operation to the mill on the LITE wheels, so that when the center is turned over, and when the pockets are machined in the pad, that we machined a valley in the back of each spoke as well. We have successfully lightened the LITE!

The photographed wheel below is a 19x9.5, with powder coat, and standard hardware, and it weighs in at an eye opening 22.78 pounds! We are still waiting on lightweight hardware, and when it arrives, I would imagine we could get this same wheel down into the 22.0lb range pretty darn easily. That's amazing for a 19x9.5!

Awesome! Okay next year's christmas list already has an item.

Jon,

Are you going to make them it 17s?

Bryce,
Not in 3 piece, not for awhile at least. Forgings in 18" were already a great hurdle we were able to jump, 17's.... just not seeing that size selling enough to justify the cost. Hey, did you get my email about those suspension parts you wanted? (Send me a PM if you did).

I got it, thanks. I will call you this week.
