    Those stock 17" GM wheels weight about 45-50 lbs each. Those DC-1 wheels will help out by saving you about 160 lbs of rotating mass. The wheels only have a 4.5" backspacing...I would have expected them to have at least 5.5".

    Most offroad rims usually have 4.5" of backspacing or less. I would love to find a 16x10 with more backspacing so I could run some 28" drag radials without rubbing.

    Also, if my memory serves me right those 17" aluminum stockers aren't too heavy at all. Around 35-40 IIRC.
