I'm sorry, I didn't word my post correctly. How much to the actual wheels and tires that come stock on the Bronco weigh. Example: One Sasquatch Wheel and Tire, total weight together. Trying to compare stock weight to aftermarket to keep it as close as possible. I don't want to add too much weight that's all.wheel weights are a consumable material like gasoline. they are not specific to ant specific brand or manufacturer. there are multiple types of wheel weights and your local tire shop should be able to help you. the wheels are balanced from the factory the weights are added to compensate for imperfections of the tire once mounted on the wheel.
don't worry about keeping the weight as close as possible just get the lightest tire wheel combination you can afford. personally i have no idea of the actual weight of the tire and wheel combinations... there are only seven trim levels all with different wheel tire combinations. you may wish to hold out until you actually take delivery to purchase a tire wheel combo. most retailers will not accept returns on tiers and wheels after either has been mounted.I'm sorry, I didn't word my post correctly.

A fun exercise is to go to your fav tiremaker's site and get their tire specs, Nitto has pages of each tire type with sizes and weights, Mickey Thompson has a catalog with all their tire. Because I'm a cheapskate I'm stuck with what will fit on the base steelies, but there are some 32/33" tires at around 40 to 50 lbs. for 17 and 18" wheels.I apologize if this has been posted but I've been searching and couldn't find the numbers .
37lbs? WTF, those wheels were supposed to be forged. One will hope they will be lighter than a comparable cast wheel, but they are actually heavier? Does not make sense.Badlands with the optional 285/70-17 Goodyear Territory tires and beadlock capable wheels are 81.6lbs each.
Looking at Tire Rack the tires are 45lbs each. So that puts the wheels at just under 37lbs each.
Also looking at Tire Rack the Goodyear Territory 315/70-17 that come on the Sasquatch weigh 52lbs each. The wheels should be the same as the other beadlocks so that is almost 90lbs each for the Sasquatch wheels and tires.
They have the added weight of the beadlock/beauty ring37lbs? WTF, those wheels were supposed to be forged. One will hope they will be lighter than a comparable cast wheel, but they are actually heavier? Does not make sense.
