Beadlock Weights

anyone have a list of beadlock wheel weights? Looking for something that is comparable in weight, or lighter than the OEM wheel without spending a fortune. Thanks,

Pretty much all 14x7 beadlocks are going to be between 15 and 17 lbs. To get as light or lighter than stock, you would have to go with Hipers and that requires spending a fortune. Raceline Mambas are one the best bang for buck beadlocks out there.

IMO the benefit of beadlocks far outweighs the the couple extra pounds you will add per corner.

I figured this was the case. I was looking at the Mambas. That may be the direction I go.



With the XPT you have I wouldn't worry about the extra weight of the wheel. I went with Mambas mentioned above and tenser tires. added 20 lbs or so at each corner. I could feel it at first but got used to it. A little more pressure on the skinny pedal is all. Now that I have stage 2 AAA tunes and clutch kit I don't feel it at all.
I know the Turbo has the power to turn anything I would put on it, but the idea of adding 40-50lbs of unsprung weight after the bighorns wear out and I replace them with the blackwaters isn't something i'm trying to do. Trimming unsprung weight does wonders for wear items as well as handling. I want to keep it as close to stock as possible. My original hope was to shave a few lbs on the wheel to compensate for the additional weight with the rubber, but it looks like i may have to just accept the fact that I have to sacrifice a little to get some additional durability.

I went with Method 401s which weigh right at 15 lbs. You could go with a tire like the Maxxis Liberty that weighs 34 lbs in a 30/10r14. That puts you just under 50 lbs per corner.

A stock 14x8 rear wheel and 29/11r14 rear tire weigh in at 48 lbs so you really wouldn't be gaining much weight at all in the back and maybe 6-7 lbs per corner in the front seeing as the 14x6 stock front wheel and the 29/9r14 front tire is a little lighter than the stock rear setup is. I don't think you will be able to tell and having the same size tires front and rear makes it handle better as well.
