26x10 46 pounds and the tire is 37 pounds. So it should be lighter then what I have now on it when mounted.

So glad you weighed them

due to the spoke design the wheel for what it is isnt that heavy. The wheel/tire mounted will be lighter than a 24x10 with a 305 35 24 and prob be lighter then the stock 22x9 with 285 45 22.

So so far, they will come in that matte color, chrome, and the black back / silver face finish on that New ESCY picture?

I like them. Makes me want to sell my slides and go with these. No center cap to deal with

Very clean design for sure. Interested to see them installed, although 26's are a bit large for my taste.

Yah 22s and 24s will be avail. also. My wife wants to push the bar on this one and I think these wheels will give a different look to it.

Right now way it looks the 26s with tires will be 10-15 pounds lighter then 24s with tires mounted. Thats a savings of 40-60 pounds of rotational mass which is a lot.
