Ford Performance Method 703 Wheels Weight = 28.4 lbs

[indio22]

Going to a lighter wheel always helps me justify a new wheel purchase as being "not just for looks". Improvements to handling, braking, and acceleration may be difficult to quantify, but it's a certainly a better move than going to something heavier. My 17x8 TK15 Sport Terrains come in at 23 lbs.

Wow 23lbs, that's one of the lighter wheels I've heard about. Nice.

The overall weight difference between the lightest 2-door and heaviest 4-door is around 900lbs. Include aftermarket items for additional weight. There's no free lunch, all that weight is going to negatively impact acceleration, braking and handling.

I'm trying to keep it lean with my base 2-door, including the Ford Tremor wheels at 26lbs each.

These are my RTR EVO 6 wheels on Toyo Open Country M/T 35s. My wheels weigh in at 22.8 lbs. Very light and happy too since those darn Toyos are super heavy at 78lbs (Very close in weight to a 37in tire on the BRaptor).

Have you weighed your Bronco? I'm a 2dr BL Sas w/high package and full plates etc. and I was 4900 empty and with a full tank of gas. Wondering what it might compare to yours.

Does anybody have pictures of the 703 Matte Titanium Gray wheels mounted on a cactus gray Bronco? Wondering how it would look.

Not the Ford Performance version since I needed 0mm offset to work with my Icon Stage 8 lift. Paired with Toyo Rugged Terrain in LT 35’s, E rated. These E rated are nearly the same weight as the D rated metric size 35’s and since I wheel in sharp rocks I went with the supposedly tougher version.

Yes. But the lighter wheel gives justification to offset the weight savings with a heavier MT .

Man I miss my red letters on the generals

Unfortunately no but I'd like to, for now I'm just going off the Ford values.

looking good!

Yeah, I thought about the Titan atk-1 for a long time. But ultimately, was bothered by the offset and the fact that the center caps cost a gazillion dollars. When I saw that the Methods offered significant weight savings, were hub centric, had oem offset and looked pretty good, decided to go with that. Titan's are super nice though and the finish on their titanium color looks better than the Method, in my opinion.

The center caps were a BITCH to hammer in... better to press. Poke is minimal, maybe .25".

I somewhat took this approach too going for my non-Sas Big Bend as I'm not an off-roader and didn't need the heavy duty armor and equipment needed for protection on trails. Driving dynamics between the lightest and heaviest are certainly going to be different, and that's an important factor for me.

I bought my Methods because they are 10 lbs lighter per corner than the stock Wildtrak wheels. My Micky Thomsons are 20 lbs heavier per corner. I only gained 10 lbs net per corner to get true 35/12.50s. The Methods are blue and no kind of Titanium like they said. lol

Thanks @Tilzbow. Looks nice.

Yes all this light weight stuff is great for the street and fast stuff but what about filling tires with water to keep them “planted” in the slow stuff….
