What’s the lightest 17” wheel with positive offset you’ve found?

Lightest I’ve found so far are RTR Evo6 17x9 +18 about 23 lbs

Not sure it could get much lighter than that. I know volk has a 17” wheel at 19lbs but it’s pretty expensive.

There was a list on a raptor forum but it was kind of old so figured I’d make a new post in case anyone on here knows of a lighter weight wheel

I have the method 703’s 17x8.5 +25 that weigh 29.
 
I'm currently looking at KMC KM446 Mesa Forged Monoblocks @ ~24 lbs, Method MR708s @ ~ 26 lbs and RRW RRH-5H @ ~24 lbs each....all zero offset.

Gotta decide!

Just get one of each wheel plus a stock wheel for all four corners of the vehicle that way you’ll never be disappointed.

Aren't the Factory Tremor wheels 35 pounds? All of your choices weigh less. I'd go with the one you like the most.

Do you like the style of wheel, color choice, available Offset, price, availability?

OEM wheels are 27.6lb and the S rated Grabbers are 45.5lb from what I've found. Not a whole hell of a lot out there significantly lighter on the 18" front but a decent bit are "close" so not like you're adding too much more unsprung.

The RTR Evo's are probably the lightest I've found in the middle of the "not stupid expensive/doesnt look retarded (to me)/not a boat anchor/seems strong" Venn. A lot of the Methods are relatively close to factory weight if not slightly lighter as well.

If you're purely chasing unsprung weight reduction though, you'll probably have better luck sticking with 18s. The weight difference between a 17" and an 18" tire of the same rolling diameter is going to be greater than the savings when going from an 18" wheel to a 17" wheel.
