Forged/Flow-Forged Wheels for Overlanding

[Mac Attack]

Folks, Have pretty much decided to go with forged/flow-forged aluminum wheels for my extended overlanding. Primary reason: weight savings. Seriously considered steel forged, but weight is greater, although would be capable of repairs, but then again, I am overlanding not rock crawling, so don't anticipate drastic damage. The only wheels I have found that fit my needs are Titan 7 forged wheels and the Venomrex flow-forged wheels...lots of others out there, but they are either huge (i.e. Monster Truck type) or for sports cars. BIG expense, but at @20lbs apiece, figure it will save @ 75lbs for 5 wheels.

Slim pickings out there on light weight wheel.

I was looking up and down for light weight wheels to keep the rolling mass down but did not find much, the only difference is that I was looking for a 20in wheel.

I found the same brands as you but did not find anything that I really like price/weight. Out of every brand I found something I like in the most unexpected place, Rocktrix. They make 2 models in 20x9 the RT105 29lbs and the RT110 32lbs. I ended up getting the RT110, got them shipped to me in less than a week and i paid $830 for 5 pieces (they have 30% off and found a coupon for an additional 5% that worked)

Looking to pair them up with a KO2 or a Kanati Trail Hog both tires around 70lbs

In the 17in format the Venomrex at 24lbs and the KO2 (load C) at 65lbs seems the lightest I found.

Hope this helps
