Anyone try rhino voll wheels?

[tacorancher]

I want to grab some lighter wheels and have been pursuing RRW, but they simply don’t list the weights of their wheels and talking to them over email / instagram is like pulling teeth. At one point they blamed me for not being able to find the weights listed on their site and the weights just don’t exist for the Tacoma wheels which I keep repeating to them.

I checked out rhino and found this wheel at 26 pounds:

Anyone try or hear of these? Anyone have specific recommendations for wheels that are 26 pounds or less? Looking for 17 by 8.5 in +25 offset. Also considering 18s if super light.

I know RRW makes some at around 20 pounds and I’m happy to give them my money but they won’t engage.

Nice choice. If you get them definitely post some photographs. Bothe the Voll and Awol are made with a spincast technique. According to Rhino, ends up with a stronger lighter wheel. The Awol is 30 ish and I've seen that Voll number. I've not heard of a truck or off-road wheel that's around 20 lb that seems pretty late to me . Maybe a forged wheel but then the price starts getting up there. Method also makes some pretty light wheels also if you can find them. The rest of the Rhino lineup seems to be pretty heavy. But they look like a great wheel

Yeah. Happy to pay for the monoforged RRW if they will just give me information. Seems like they are actively discouraging people from buying their stuff. It’s super weird.

Hmmm odd. Check out trailbuiltoffroad.com I believe they posted the weights of the wheels. It made me difficult for a manufacturer to measure and weigh every single wheel size and offset to post the weights for each. However I don't think you can go wrong with the Rhino Wheels.

RRW 17’s monoforged are 18-20lbs
Flowform are 24-26
I was looking pretty hard at them as well and got an answer from a reseller, can’t remember which one? Went with the monoforged when they had the BF sale for $315. (Preorder) eta Early February.

Excellent. I think I’m going for the monoforged. That’s such an incredible weight savings.

@Supertech1 has the RS7-S he weighed them at 18lbs 14oz! I know your OCD

You lock down a set of tires yet? The Nokians are the best tires I’ve ever had on snow and ice, but do have a fair amount of road noise? Not bad but more than I expected. Worth the trade off for me. But if you don’t deal with shit roads I think there are better options.

Ok, so lighter wheels means you can run larger, heavier, more durable tires. If you decide not to, is there a mpg benefit?

Texas has garbage roads. But no snow or ice. I want a large tire that’s not an E load. I may get 17” wheels, drop weight by 10-15 pounds on the wheels alone, and get the Toyo open country 285/75/17 C loads (33.9”) **if** they will fit without me taking off the crash bar. Not sure if it’ll go. If so I’ll get large diameter and less weight than I’ve got running now (80 pounds a corner instead of 93).

For sure. And a handling benefit. Truck is way more nimble on lighter unsprung mass.

Forgot to mention the Amrid (Kevlar) in the Nokians for better puncture resistance and stronger sidewalls, being another reason I got them so I could stay with a lighter SL tire.

But from what I understand most sidewalls are the basically the same regardless of load rating up to C, E and above are much more durable 3ply side walls. If you’re worried about sidewalls and off road a lot stick with E-load if not you may as well get an SL and save the weight?

I’d bet good money 33.9 will fit with the crash bars in place. Mine are 32.8 and they fit with tons of room to spare.

It’s a fair question whether a C load is any more durable than an SL. I think it probably is even if just for the deeper tread but I really don’t know for sure. On fitment of the Toyo, I’m running 33.43” and it’s pretty damn close, so I’m not entirely sure. I’ll take some measurements today - I basically need a quarter inch.

You’ve got the Mickey Thompson 285/70/17 right?
