Trd alloy's weight

I've looked everywhere...... Might have over looked it but doubt it

What do the TRD alloy's weight? Here's a pic of the rims I'm taking about (my truck)

Thanks!

 

I know somebody knows........ Pleeeeaasssee

 

If I remember correctly from a past post, they are about 19-20lbs for the stock off road and sport rims.

 

19-20 pounds? I'm sorry but no way....... That's so light for a stock rim. If that's the case then no need to upgrade my wheels for lighter ones.

The reason behind this question is bc I just upgraded from 245/75 to some new 265/75/16's on my single cab 4 cyl. I can feel the weight difference and was wondering if I could ditch these TRD's for some lighter weight wheels to gain some MPG's back

Thanks Karmapt! Anybody else

 

Did you go with LT's or P rated tires? That weight difference would be far more than the wheels.

 

No, C. 38 pounds a tire..... Just a few pounds heavier than my old Goodyear Wrangler HT's at 32.2 pounds. Figure if I can drop a few lbs on lighter rims that would make up for it. So, that's why I ask the weight of the TRD Alloys, which I'm assuming are in the 25-28 pound area.

Anybody know the real weight?

 

If i remember correctly the stock 16" alloy are roughly 25 lbs. If you want light weight wheels check out SCS F-5 wheels or Konig countersteers. They are about 19 lbs.

Realistically though, that small weight difference won't make that much of a difference in real world driving. The bigger diameter tire (265/75/15) is what makes it feel sluggish or decreases gas mileage because it takes more effort for the engine/transmission to turn a larger tire.

 

District 5 - Thanks for chiming in! Good to know an idea on the weight I was told that the weight of the wheel matters with MPG's and power......

 

Can anybody chime in on this?

 

Monday bump for a reply

 

22.4 lbs.

Stock trd off-road, about 23
16" trd beadlock style 23.5
17" trd fordged beadlock style 27

I compiled several numbers here:

And yes, weight makes a big difference in power and economy.

 

FN Wheels makes some lightweight (18-19lb range) wheels:

It should be noted that there is a balance between weight and durability if you intend to take your truck off-road. OEM alloys will be very durable, the lightest aftermarket alloy may not. If you are purely street use the lighter the better.

 

Good lookin out guys! Thanks

The hunt for some SCS F5's begins

 

I just went from the OR alloys to SCS MK6 and I like them a lot. You might have to take mud flaps off of you haven't done so already - mine stick out further than factory (0 offset).
