Same bolt pattern as a Mercedes sprinter van
Large alloy wheels may not be significantly lighter than steel wheels. Oversize tyres add weight quite much.I'll be ordering the 17" alloys with the Bridgestone 'dueler' A/T. The reasons are mainly weight and tyre availability and trying to reduce the unsprung mass.
Also the offset value is important.Same bolt pattern as a Mercedes sprinter van
rotational mass. Axels and all that don't matter.Large alloy wheels may not be significantly lighter than steel wheels. Oversize tyres add weight quite much.
But both have minor effect on unsprung weight with solid axle. I don't know the actual weights but a guess is that tyres + wheels + axle + track rod + half of suspension arms and drag link add up to something in the range of 100-125 kg.
Why not just buy wheels with the correct offset and eliminate the need for spacers?I am putting on after market wheels, but need 1" spacers. Does anyone know hub diameter so I may get correct spacers? TY
What size meats (tires) you running?I am loving these new Owl Talon bronze wheels. As it now has just the perfect amount of side-poke IMO.

Picture is a vehicle Mossy had on their website. I almost added them when I bought mine — Mossy charges $1500 to add them. Theirs are powder coated.I would also value an option to have steel wheels painted to match the body color (especially with the lighter color choices).
Is “meats” slang for tires? If so I need to use this term in mixed company to up my cool car knowledge standing.What size meats (tires) you running?
I had my steel wheels painted (not powder coat) Scottish White by a local shop for less than half that price, but I suspect that Mossy is better at color matching.Picture is a vehicle Mossy had on their website.

I want to do this! What kind of shop - like a place that paints cars?I had my steel wheels painted (not powder coat) Scottish White by a local shop for less than half that price, but I suspect that Mossy is better at color matching.
Yes a auto body shop can do it. If you are looking for something more durable, you will want powder coat which is a different shop. I would shop around on price too.I want to do this! What kind of shop - like a place that paints cars?
