I believe they're about the same weight. Are the durango rims 24lbs without a tire? I would assume yes.

Ill bring a scare outside in the morning and weigh one of mine with a stock tire. I know the 17'' steel rim weights 36lbs without a tire

Looks like they weigh in at 54 lbs, my stock 20s were 75 or so!!
So let me see if i understand this if 1lb of rotating mass = 7 lbs of static mass then 80lbs x 7 is 560lbs of savings SO would this mean with the 20s im hauling a 520 lb load?

Man when i took off my stock 20s and put the durango 17s on with regular street tires it was like driving on ice lol. What a huge difference in rotating weight.

Theyre on MH 325s now and a damn good track tire i really recomend those or the 02 03 aluminum 17s
