    Thanks for finding that. Not bad but a bit heavy. My 17x8.5" Roost wheels are 25lbs. I hope they find a way to lose a few lbs in the future.

    I believe @Discount Tire Direct told me 28lbs for the 17x8.5. It won’t be until late March until I can do that, working overseas atm, but I will post up when I do get them mounted.

    These seem misnamed to me. They are not a beadlock, more of an enhanced bead area. Beadgrip, maybe?

    Clearly your eyes are quite a bit better than mine. Or you aren't reading this on a phone like I am.

    just thought it was funny you came up with the same term they did, wasn't trying to be smart about it.

    Our trucks have a bolt pattern of 6x139.7 correct? Why do I not see that on the list? Is it the same as 6x5.5?
