    Tire is almost 60#, and I can finagle the wheel/tire back on without too much issue unless I keep missing the lugs then I might have to set it down and rest my back lol. If I had to guess, each wheel/tire is around 80# each

    I have so much to learn lol, I see that kinda style of rim and always automatically assume they're steel lol

    Thank you for the edification, I'm just trying to compare what my weight will be with a 31" with steelies vs a 33" with alloy

    Hmm Google fu tells me that most 16" alloys are about 15#, so I guess I would be closer to 70 - 75# per wheel/tire.

    Aren't steelies significantly heavier though? You have a different tire though so maybe that's where the difference is. I don't know what those Extreme Country's weigh

    My Steelies were 27# and I found my post about weights in 2018 and the DC’s were 48 on the scale at my house

    Yeah those DCs are significantly lighter than the STmaxx so we're at about the same weight probably. Next time I have a wheel off I'll put it on the bathroom scale if I remember to

    Nope. Never been able to find an exact match online except one time, someone posted a pic of a brand that looked like them but I forgot what it was. American Racing maybe? It was a discontinued model iirc

    Pro Comp makes a similar looking one but it's a little different.

    I don't mind them and will probably keep them unless they ever get damaged. If I were to get different wheels I'd just throw steelies on, something cheap and reliable that I wouldn't mind getting beat up. I don't get people that spend thousands on wheels for an offroad truck and then throw a fit when a tire shop puts a tiny ding on them.

    @Abeyancer was asking about wheels

    Seriously though, my wheels cost $400 for all of em. Scratch em, bash em, bend em, who cares at $100 a pop

    Old pic but you get the idea

    And on my last truck these steelies were $48 a pop

    I guess I was exposed to Covid on Friday. They tested positive today, so that’s cool.

    If you get tested you should wait awhile, can take a couple weeks to kick in. Isn't your school testing everyone regularly or something

    Easier to bang it back into shape on a trail too.

    Sounds like you get 10 days of working on your truck
