    Hey guys. Thinking of going with the KMC grs wheels 17x9 -12 offset which weigh at 37lb and Baja boss at 285/70/17 which weigh at 44 lb

    Too heavy?

    The tires are a good weight, your wheels are on the chunky side haha, if you look at the weight of the SCS wheels they are in the mid, low 20lbs.

    If you like them buy them. Imo I’d never buy on weight, it is what it is.

    @eric818 there are many more options for wheels that would be lighter, maybe if weight is a factor, you could find a happy medium.
