Are there any lighter aluminum black wheels that look similar to my black steel pro comp D wheels? Im
Running a 15x8 steel and want to go lighter...

Here is an alloy D style wheel. I currently have black rock wheels that are seven years old and they have held up great

Those are nice. I wish they were gloss instead of flat black but I’m saving 12lbs a wheel with these. Thanks.

If they are 16lbs that is almost half of my steelies weight. Awesome!!

 

[04RedLJ]

They are advertised as 16lbs.

 

[MichaelGH]

They are about exactly that. Almost half the weight my 15x8” steel wheels were...

 

[Ephry73]

Worth it just by that alone

Cast aluminum wheels are not that much lighter than steel, there's typically only something like a 3-7 lb. difference between them and steel wheels which doesn't really make a significant difference. Forged aluminum is lighter since it can be made thinner but being forged makes them a LOT more expensive.

To me, the 3-7 lb. difference per wheel is insignificant and not, by itself, a reason to switch to aluminum. There are other benefits like steel being far easier to dent and bend but if making a change, understand that performance or better braking is not going to be significantly better with aluminum. What makes the biggest difference in performance or braking? The diameter of the tire. The bigger the diameter, the more leverage it has over both the engine and the brakes.

The 15x8 steel Pro Comps are 28 pounds each. The 15x8 aluminum Pro Comps are 16 pounds each. I’ll take a 48 pound total rolling weight reduction any day...

Anyone know of a gloss black finished model in aluminum, that looks fairly close to these ?

Same here.

Nice. Im just not a fan of the flat black finish. Wanted gloss

 

[Irun]

I think ET sells some gloss black versions. The ones I saw though were chrome and black.

 

[TWiG01]

These are what I run. Brand is Blackrock and they have some shine to them.

What’s the factory backspacing on TJ wheels?

So give them a shot of semi gloss over the matte black.

Factory wheels? Too much.
Around 5" or 5.25"
