Why are you so obsessed with the weight of your wheels, a few more lbs won't really slow you down much

 

uh yea they will. My old chrome 20's weighed only 20 pounds more compared to my 265/75/16's and the difference is huge. I also get about 2-3 mpg better with stockers.

 

It may feel a little slower, but I think it's more in your head than anything. I put a set of my friends 24's on my truck just for ***** & giggles, there was a little difference, but in about 5 miles I was used to them and it felt normal and only lost 2/10's in the quarter compared to my 16'' Mickeys, so I doubt 20's will really matter

 

That is great news. My 16" factory ZQ8 wheels on my S-10 weighed about the same and I never thought the difference between those and Stingrays would be so close. I didn't want to go with too big of a rim on my sierra because of weight so I got some factory polished '06 GMC 17" rims with 275/55/17" Toyo's off E-bay but given the fact that they weigh about the same and look a **** load better I might look into getting a set.

Even though it seems like everyone's got Stingray IIIs on this site, I've actually only seem a couple of trucks with them in person. I think I just found what my tax returns are gonna go to!

 

I woke up the other night and tossed one on the scale...then went back to bed

 

I had a 2001 ZQ8

I haven't seen another truck in person with Stingrays. So however common they are on PT.net, they aren't popular in the Lake Conroe area

 

Exactly!! Same thing where I live. You see a lot of Stingrays on this site but I've never run into anybody who had them. When I had my old 20's, there were about five other trucks in town with the same damn wheel
But not anymore

 

Actually, looks like they changed their minds...and now the wheels weigh 24lbs.

Huh, no kidding. They actually changed the weight on the 22's as well.

 

I actually talked to them last week, and they told me the "ULTRA" series weighed 19lbs per wheel, and it also said that on their site. I look today and now they claim 24lbs. I'm trying to figure out what makes them "ULTRA" as compared to the standard Stingray III?? I also see that the standard Stingray's are 20x8 w/ 5" backspacing and the ULTRA's are 20x8.5 with 5.4" backspacing. I'm pretty sure that this was also different last week on their site??? I printed it out last week and have it on my desk at work...I can verify on Monday. Honestly, I had a set of the Stingrays brand new last year...and sold them to 04Silverado cuz I was getting tired of seeing them on every truck on here. I have had my Centerline Lexi's for 4 years, and haven't really seen too many trucks with them. If I were to do it again, and I'm sure I will (lol), I would get a set of Billets....period. Centerline wheels (for our trucks) are mediocre at best. You can't beat them for the money, but you get what you pay for. The finish doesn't last forever, be it chrome or polished. I can only speak of the chrome, but ask 02bluestepside about the polished. I remember he wasn't exactly happy with his.
