I am a bit of numbers guy, spread sheet analyst if you will. Anal shopper if you want to be a jerk about it. Anyways here is my wheel comparison document. You may have noticed a particular style wheel that I like. This is the look I am going for. If anyone knows any wheels that fit my look that I have not compared let me know.

If anyone wants to add to the document with different wheels, go for it.

Is there something missing from the document you think I need to consider, let me know?

I love the AEV Savegre, plus they are the correct fit. However, I am having a hard time with the weight. I can get the Pro Comp wheels that are a full 9 lbs lighter per wheel. That is a big difference in unsprung, rotating weight. I don't have any experience with Pro Comps, but they are really cheap and that also gives me caution.

Anyone have experience with Pro Comps? Is the quality as cheap as the price?

If you like the wheels document, I have started a bumper document. After I finish that I plan to do one for rock rails/sliders as well.

I appreciate your analytical approach to these decisions. I inherited a bunch of ProComp parts on my YJ which were the choice of a prior owner, Never really had issues with anything but that Jeep was way more beater than anyone buying a JT will have for parts expectations

Nice! I wouldn't put a ton of faith into some wheel manufacturers posted weight. I saw one place list the Mopar Beadlocks at 26lbs when they are closer to 34lbs. I'm with you on the unsprung weight topic. After seeing many AEV wheels with porosity issues in the barrel they went to the bottom of my list.

This is awesome...

But I wonder could we consolidate all our stuff into one master document with tabs?

That will make it easier to reference and navigate later.

Maybe something like @steffen707 ‘s google spreadsheet?

We could have some people with the ability to edit and add/delete so it doesn’t get crazy.

you already got a master doc?

EDIT: LMAO, that was post 1, got it!

The Options matrix kinda has turned into this for me, but we could spruce it up a bit.
