    I have been running Konig Countersteer Off-Roads in the anodized bronze for a good solid 8-9 years now I think. Just switched over to a set of 4Runner TRD Off-Road wheels with spidertrax wheel spacers and a 285/75R17 KO2. The look is completely different. Not bad but different. What I am debating is just keeping the factory wheels and spacers or getting a set of lightweight wheels again. What are some lightweight suggestions. The factory wheels are 32lbs! I have looked at FN, SCS ,Icon, and Method. Although some are not exactly light weight. Just lighter than 32lbs. So suggestions, and bronze or change it up and go silver? Before and after pics.

    Enkei RPT1 is an option if you're willing to drop down to 16s. Mine weigh just about 18 lbs.

    Have had 16's and just stepped up to 17 so I could get a 34. The Konig Countersteer Off-Road's are in that 18lb area too. That is why I am not liking the 32lb factory wheels. But it is good know of another lightweight wheel.

    For 17s, I think the cast 17x9 Rotiform wheel is fairly light in the low 20s. I can check for you if you'd like.

    Rotiform, yes, forgot about them and I have a vendor that sells them. Need to look there. Thank you!
