Too bad weld went out of buisness and was bought out by American Racing, I had some 15" Forged welds and those things were extremely light!
Now I have some rims from American Racing that are really light as well
But yeah if you can find some welds, that would be a good buy

I have weld 22" evo's and they are at the very least 1/2 of the weight of the cast 20's I was running. I actually think they may be lighter than the factory 16's I have!

My Centerline 20's are God awful heavy as well. I haven't even put them back on after the winter, and prob. won't. I love the way my truck runs and rides with the 17" Esky wheels and Toyo Proxes combo. Those HiOctanes look good, but I'd go for the Intro's if I was spendin' $3k.

not to get off topic, but what drop are you running on your truck?

i have a djm 2/4 and the truck rakes like hell.. i'd like for the rear to sit a lot lower.

Mines a 1/4 drop. Everything is BellTech other than shocks.
But to help with the Chevy lean i have one shakle thats differant....i think it's still BellTech but i'd hvae to crawl under it to be certain.
We just put the bolt in the second hole instead of the top one to help level it out some.

My wheels are pretty heavy- I will probably be going with 18's soon.

I might get em in gunmetal though.....not sure yet. I can get em with 3 differant lip sizes damn near any color or finish i want and i can get a 8.5wide for the front and a 10 wide for the back.
I'd hit it
