    Light 17" wheels???

    Guys, i do sand drags most of the time and that's why I bought 285-70R17 BF Mud terrains, they perform very nice in the sand but as you should know they kill me in the street.. I'm looking for a set of 17" wheels in the 8.5-10" width range that are lighter that my 45-50lbs stock wheels to try to compensate the weight I add with the mudders instead of my stock tires.. The lighter the better.. I really like centerlines stingrays but I'm not sure if they are light or they are made in 17"..
    (I was going to buy dick cepek DC-1's 24lbs each but i don't like them that much, they just got my attention cause of the weight)
    Should I look for aluminum wheels? Forged? Or what kind of wheels are lighter??
    Thanks!

    They are made in 16", 17", 18", 20", and 22".

    Billet aluminum are pretty dang light. They are stronger and lighter than your stock wheels. But if you wanted to spend some real $$$, you could buy some ultra light Magnesium wheels...

    Somebody told me here on the forum that my stock wheels where 45-50lbs a piece.. I just did a lot of weighting yesterday and my stock wheels turned out to weight 20lbs.. The stock tires that came from factory 31lbs and the mudders that Im running right now weight 57lbs.. 26lbs of difference between the factory tires and mudders :/
    so, 20lbs are hard to beat in my opinion.. 17" Stingrays weight around the same..
