My dad kicked himself for not getting some alloy rims for winters just because of the weight of the bastards....I remember loading those buggers into his Avalanche almost made me drop a testy.
Yeah, just got the rims last week and they weigh 36 lb each. I’m not 100% sure, but seems like the 17” aluminum rims are around 23 lb, so it’s a significant difference.
Tire weights are within a pound, so looks like the steel rim/tire combo is going to be 80 lb, while it would have been 68 lb with the alloys.
Still, going with the alloys & 17” tires would have cost an extra $40/corner. And I enjoy switching it up with different summer & winter rims. I like the 17” stock aluminum rims, but it would have been weird having two identical sets. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself now. Might have a different opinion when I actually try to lift the suckers.
