    Posted: 12 Oct 2024 at 3:56pm
Hello everyone. I have a 7040 with power adjust rims and cast center wheels. I have a set of rims from a 1586 that are 1" thick in the middle. They weigh 310# each. Does anyone know what the power adjust rim/cast center wheels weigh? I don't want to do the swap unless I know it will yield me at least a 200 pound weight loss.

That's basically what I am doing but the wheels I have purchased are still 310# each. I plan on using an annular cutter and cutting triangles out of center to reduce weight. I would just like to know the baseline of cast centers. Thanks
