Has anyone weighed the 18' FX4 wheels

I'm thinking about getting the Helo Maxx 6 Black wheels but if it's only going to be a visual mod then I'm not going to buy them.

Does anyone know the weight of the 18' wheel without a tire?

I'm still trying to find the weight of the 18X9 Helo.

If you're trying to make NASCAR weight limits, you're trying with the wrong vehicle.

Which would you prefer? A 230lbs female that has the looks of a supermodel or a 230lbs female that looks like your neighbor.

If the stock wheels weigh 27 pounds and the Helo's weigh 22 pounds then it won't put any extra stress on the braking system. If the Helo's weigh more then they are not worth buying because of the extra stress. The fact is this heavy truck already takes a long time to stop no reason to make it take longer. Anyone who bought an F150 and was looking for speed is only fooling themselves trying to make the truck go faster.




On a side note the best improvement on my track bike was swapping out the heavy wheels and saving those few pounds.
