Aftermarket/OEM rim choices

[LR Max]

I figure I'd post here since there is a lot more traffic on this site.

Anywho, I want to get a second set of rims for my 109 for some big LTBs. But I want to concentrate on getting a lightweight rim so that it'll keep the rotational mass down. I know the LTB will be heavy and a lighter rim will make it less of a problem.

So anyone out there know of any rims that I can get ahold of that are light, fairly easy to get ahold of, and not too terribly expensive? I saw those tube rims by equipe 4x4, but at $250 a piece, that is too much. Also I question how legal they are here in the US. I think I shall forgo beadlocks since I am only running a 34" tire. No need for them.

So any suggestions? Thanks.

LTBs dont come in large sizes A 34 inch tire isnt heavy enough to worry about the weight. Rims narrow enough to fit these to arent going to be heavy either so dont sweat it. I know several folks running 38.5s on stock series hubs with no issues.

I have four very nice condition 15x6in SIII wheels. Perfect for 34x10.50LTBs I will let them go cheap.

If you can wait I will bring them to MAR.

Max, I don't know if they will fit the bill for you, but I have been using the wolf rims. I got 2 and 3/4 inch off set with each rim as my rims were the original 88 rims which had 0 off set. On the 109 you should get 1 and 3/4 inches as most 109 rims have a 1 inch off set. The stability and turning radius are improved incredibly.
