New Wheels (Keizer)
Update on the new wheels:

I weighed the new beadlock wheels with the M/T PBR's, they weighed 50 lbs. each. I don't remember or never weighed the M/T's on the non-beadlock weld wheels.

For comparison, I weighed my Hoosier lightweight radials on the Weld Racing non-beadlock wheels. They weighed 40 lbs. each.

Don't know if I'll ever do a comparison test between the 2 different wheel & tire combos. Would be neat to find out if there's a performance difference, but all I care about is consistency.

I should have just ordered the smaller Moser rotors & caliper brackets the other day. Guess I'll put that on the list of things to do.

I've been so busy getting the thicker beadlock rings. I forgot about our original possible issue, if the beadlocks would clear the brake calipers.

I'm happy to say they clear the Moser brakes, but now I have $677 kit sitting on the shelf. Oh well, I have some spare rotors, pads & caliper brackets for the rear.

Had no issues with the Keizer wheels this past weekend. Glad I purchased non-mainstream wheels, made in the USA & reasonably priced!

I did get plenty of compliments on the wheels & questions.
