I have an '02 Ext Cab XLT RWD with the stock 15"(?) steel donuts. I wanted to get some strong, lightweight 16" wheels to improve handling and braking. I drive exclusively on streets/freeways and I don't really haul anything excpet for the occasional 1000-lb pallet of goods under my camper shell.

Tirerack.com has some 16x8 AT Italia 5 Razze wheels that weigh 22.5-lbs. They're quite unspectacular in the looks department, but my number one priority is low wheel weight. Does anybody know of any better/lighter alternatives?

Thanks.

 

go with 15's instead of 16's... cheaper tires and less weight

 

Stay with the 15". or atleast i would. they will keep the weight low.

 

i have a set of stock 16's from an 01 ranger if you are interested.
they are like 15 lbs. ea. (wheels only)

 

for handling you will want larger wheels, so 16 or 17 inch would be good. youll want forged aluminum, check out centerline, they always have some clearance wheels
