SO I've literally spent the last 4-5 hours looking at wheels/tires combos for my truck. I upgraded from a gasser to a 2012 F-250 I found with only 12K miles. I got it two weeks ago
Anyways, I've been looking at cheaper alternatives to AF wheels. I love them, and forged is of course better, but they are costly.
I was looking at MotoMetal which are about 35 pounds for 20x12 wheels.
Long story short but I have some old bike parts I could probably sell to get some AF wheels if I really wanted to, but I wanted to know exactly how much lighter forged is? Has anyone weighed or found the weight of an AF 20x12 wheel? Could they be into the mid to high 20's per wheel? I'm sure it will vary depending on wheel design, but is it SIGNIFICANTLY lighter where it's worth the extra money?
Like I said, I know forged is known for being "lighter" but are we talking 3-5 pounds lighter vs a cast aluminum? Or should I start to consider selling those bike parts to get the American Force wheels?
