Lightest 17" wheels *with positive offset*?

[Bronkers]

Anyone got any tips on light 17" wheels that have (any amount of) positive offset?

Best I can find so far are method 705 at 25.3lbs/ea

I'd buy the very expensive Titan 7 wheels today if they were positive (rather than negative) offset

All Rays/gramlight/Volk and Motegi that I've seen are all zero or negative

I don't need poke I need trail clearance and rock flinging mitigation

Appreciate any help!!!

curious why so weight focused? i get rotational weight but for a close to 4k+ lb vehicle i do not see counting grams or ounces, let alone a few pounds.

i mean the rtr tech6 or evo6 are +30 and weigh around 25.5lb. i feel like anything in the under 30 range is good.

Forgot about RTR options, will have another look, thanks!

Because I haven't seen good math/writeup dismissing the impact of a few pounds of rotational weight for fuel economy or acceleration/stopping.

If it's $1,500 to drop 10lbs/wheel (vs squatch @ 35lbs) I'd consider spending another $1,000 to drop another 5lbs/wheel(ie if the Titans were positive offset)

BUT...if it's a waste of money maybe I should change title and question of this post...

My Motegi Trailites are about a pound less than the 703s and are fairly inexpensive. +18 for the 17"

Isnt Motegi Trailite’s 24lbs?

This one is a little over 6 lbs… But you might need an adapter to put it on your Bronco…

Missed that too...

+18 might be it!

And the price!

Thanks!

Ditto
I’d like to hear what people find.

Weight is weight and it always hurts performance. Plus it is more fun to change a flat when it weighs less.

I might be a little biased but I think they look great too.

Any rubbing with the 35s on the +18?? I'm looking at trail dedicated wheels and 315 KM3s for my non Sasquatch Badlands 2dr.

curious if i should go 18 or stick with 17. going 18 I could have a slightly shorter sidewall which may subtly help on road cornering. what else to consider between 17 or 18

Excellent pic. I love golds/bronzes with all the blues (azure gray...) but I decided to retire it out of respect to my cg base (R.I.P.)

Blue on black from factory works (sans beauty rings) so I may not do anything for awhile but that motegi price is right

I'm not sure it will make much of a difference either way. 18s have a great tire selection as well.

They have a grey finish available too.
